Themes to Be Explored at the Autos2050SM Conference
The Future of Self-Driving:
Is Level 5 the Holy Grail of Autonomy?
Some people see self-driving as a long-range evolution, while others seek to leap-frog ahead to full autonomy. What is a realistic timeline for realizing the benefits of self-driving, and is there a best way forward?
Sensors, AI and Machine Learning:
Separating the Hype from Reality.
When will the underlying technologies that enable self-driving become available, affordable and integrated into the fleet? What barriers lie in the road ahead, and how can self-driving cars get around them?
Connectivity, Data and Cybersecurity:
Maximizing the Benefits and Minimizing the Risks.
The volume of data required to operate a self-driving vehicle will increase exponentially as sensors, programs and computing capacity become faster, more sophisticated, and data-driven. How can we ensure a secure future?
