​​​​Founded as a spin-off of the Technical University of Vienna when he was 23, Georg started TTTech with the vision to advance safe technologies to improve human life – from cars to planes and industrial machines. Ricky, who lead early autonomous efforts while at Audi, is a strong believer in the future of autonomous mobility. Safety, like at TTTech, is a main driver behind The Autonomous' initiative – as 90 percent of all accidents are because of human behavior. Autonomous mobility will also help to rid today's cities of traffic and reduce environmental pollution. The road to safe, autonomous mobility, however, is not a marathon, but a triathlon. ​
