Hi everyone,

I’m Matteo Miglietta, I attend the master in marketing and global markets at the Bicocca University in Milan. I also work in a startup accelerator as a business analyst and marketer.

It’s a real pleasure to meet you, it will be really interesting to participate in the first virtual SVST and discuss various topics with you.
I hope to be able to visit silicon valley not only through my pc.

Can´t wait to get started.

Matteo Miglietta

Thanks for sharing this interesting video, I didn’t think there was a company ready to offer this service!

Certainly the world of private transport is going in that direction, the cars will be automated and we will no longer need to drive to reach a destination (check it out this mercedes-benz concept).

Now the building process of cars is focused on safe and comfortable driving but this actual concept is going to change in the future and customers will enjoy their journey without worrying about driving (check it out this example or this one).

It will certainly be an advantage for those who need to work or study but they have to drive or for those who simply want to enjoy the trip without worries.

There will be an advantage in terms of safety because that very high percentage of accidents caused by distraction or human error will be eliminated. All cars will respect speed limits, signs and use arrows.

Self-driving cars should be built to facilitate entry for disabled people autonomously, it would be a big advantage and would allow disabled people to travel independently.

On the other hand there are also disadvantages, surely a part of the passionate car drivers will not be happy to don’t be able to drive their car, for many driving their car is a passion!

In the first period, passengers will feel less confident in using an self-driving car despite they will be safer.

Another disadvantage will be the replacement of some jobs which will become automated, just think about taxi drivers, postmen, home deliveries and in the future also bus drivers.

This is the future but why don’t we have self-driving cars yet? The Society of Automotive Engineers classifies automated system using five levels:

– Level 1 is driver assistance;

– Level 2 is partial automation;

– Level 3 is conditional automation;

– Level 4 is high automation;

– Level 5 is full automation.

What level are we currently at? Experts say we are between level 2 and level 3. So, self-driving may seem like something achievable in the near future, but it is not. It is not only the car that must be ready for automatic driving but the surrounding environment must be appropriate. For example, the streets full of potholes or poor lane markings aren’t going to support high-tech well (Source: Business Insider, check it out this video for more informations).

I want to leave you with this reflection: would we be more independent or dependent in a “machine-driven” world?

This is an interesting topic and I will wait others opinions about it.

Thank you,

Matteo Miglietta.

Hello everybody, I’m Matteo Miglietta. I’m a “Marketing and Global Markets” student (Master Degree) at the University of Milan – Bicocca.
In the bachelor degree period I had the possibility to take part in Erasmus program, in that period I had the possibility to know people from different countries, different cultures and different backgrounds. This experience strengthened in me the idea that having experiences abroad extend the mind and sight.

My background is about Business Administration (bachelor degree) but also about Informatics because I studied it during high school and I developed a mobile application with my school mates (for more information just asking me). Informatics and marketing are two of my passions and I would like to be able to combine them in one profession in the future.
Silicon valley is the motherland of computer science, most of the apps we use today were born there. The new marketing concept was also born in Silicon Valley, just think of the marketing techniques of Apple and Steve Jobs.

As Ardalan also said, I moved from Lecce to Milan for the bigger numbers of opportunities. I have an entrepreneurial idea and I want to know how to make it real. Silicon valley is the land of opportunities, especially for those who have a passion for informatics, innovation and have an entrepreneurial idea.
Waking up in the morning and dreaming of changing the world is what I love about Silicon Valley.

I’m really happy to be here and to read and know your experiences.
Let’s dream Silicon Valley together!
