Top speaker announced for AutoSens USA this June
Senior Manager, Features and Systems Engineering, Autonomy
This June, Sameer Kolte will take to the AutoSens USA 2025 stage to delve into Methods for Conceptualizing a Suitable Architecture for Autonomy Use Case and how Rivian is shaping the future of automotive.
Different organizations have set different autonomy goals for themselves ranging from supervised L2/L2+ automated driving to unsupervised robotaxi applications (L4/L5). Supervised automated driving itself has different tiers based on the driver’s engagements in the driving task. Each use case puts forth a variety of constraints on autonomy sensing and
the compute architectures depending on the operational design domain, target market and the level of autonomy. Examples of problems that an autonomy architect needs to find answers to are – defining a sensor constellation ensuring adequate coverage in the region of
interest, determining field-of-view and resolution of the sensors, determining minimum frame rate requirements for camera data ingestion, dependency on maps, homologation requirements and consumer rating scores in the target markets. This talk takes us through
some of those use cases, posed constraints and methods followed to find answers to above or other questions in the concept phase.
