The Tech.AD Business & Technology Sessions

Level 3 & 4 – Challenges for virtual & real life testing, validation & simulation
Will software be the future differentiator of automated cars? In addition, what does it needs? Scalable, platform-independent software architectures for ADAS and automated driving ‒ Is the V Model still valid or do we need to restructure the development process?
Fail-operational automated driving architectures – What are the challenges in development and testing? In addition in which extent will the number of test cases increase with a higher level automation?
How does automated driving impact the user experience? Autonomous driving from an end-user and usability perspective
Automated parking ‒ Architecture / integration, modular functional development & strategic implications
Deep Driving ‒ Artificial intelligence, Deep Learning & Deep Driving in Automotive ‒ What are state of the art algorithms for computer vision and machine learning including those most important for the automotive industry?
What are the newest concepts, challenges, use cases & game changers to the new AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles?
Safety and Risk Issues for Self Driving Cars ‒ Consider the requirements of cyber security in a variety of system layouts e.g. integrated network and centralised processor, to establish what layout offers the most secure architecture
Ergonomic Design of the Vehicle Motion in an Automated Driving Car ‒ What is a concept for the design of an automated driving system that uses the driver’s motion perception to feed back the automation system’s state and intention & which design & interaction concept do we need in which level of automation according to SAE?
Embracing the ecosystem of Automated Mobility on demand ‒ Explore how Automated Mobility on Demand (AMoD) will fill societal gaps for first mile and last mile public transportation, redefining the field of mobility
Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous Systems: Hype vs. Reality
