Artificial intelligence is not just changing how we work. It is transforming how we move. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, happening October 27-29 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, two industry leaders at the forefront of AI-driven mobility will take the AI Stage to explore the future of intelligent transportation systems. These leaders are Sachin Kansal from Uber and Dave Ferguson from Nuro.
Together, Kansal and Ferguson will discuss the evolving relationship between AI and mobility. They will cover how predictive models and computer vision are improving road safety, why last-mile delivery is an autonomy proving ground, and what it will take to bring AI-driven transportation to scale.
With the transportation industry evolving so quickly, this session offers an exclusive insider’s look at the future of mobility. You can register now to save up to four hundred forty-four dollars on your pass, or up to thirty percent on group passes.
Sachin Kansal is the chief product officer at Uber Technologies. He oversees the company’s global Mobility and Delivery products, including safety, sustainability, and autonomous vehicle initiatives. He is helping define how AI and automation will power Uber’s next decade, from more efficient ride-matching to next-generation logistics networks. He oversees product and technology strategy for Uber’s new initiatives in autonomous vehicles, sustainability, taxis, and Uber for Teens.
Before joining Uber in 2017, he served as vice president of Product at Lookout and chief product officer at Flywheel Software. Earlier in his career, he led product management at Palm for the webOS mobile platform. Sachin holds engineering degrees from Gujarat University and Stanford University and has authored several patents in mobile and location technologies.
Joining him is Dave Ferguson, co-founder and president of Nuro. Nuro is the self-driving technology company pioneering scalable autonomy for robotaxis, commercial fleets, and personal vehicles. Ferguson’s experience spans Google’s early self-driving program, now known as Waymo, and Carnegie Mellon’s DARPA Urban Challenge-winning team. This gives him a rare perspective on how robotics research translates to real-world transportation breakthroughs.
A leading voice in robotics and AI, Ferguson has published over sixty papers and holds more than one hundred patents. He earned his MS and PhD in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University.
