While growing up in Bangladesh, I witnessed firsthand how human errors can lead to fatal traffic crashes and how irresponsible driving can create severe traffic congestion. I strongly believe that autonomous vehicles and connected environments are essential to achieving the Vision Zero goal. Every single life is precious, and my aim is to contribute to this field so that everyone can travel safely on the roads.
