AI AND CONNECTED INTELLIGENCE: HARNESSING THE FULL POTENTIAL OF SOFTWARE-DEFINED SYSTEMS
Wednesday 11th June | 09:00am EDT | Room 142A-C
Javed Khan
President of Software and Advanced Safety and User Experience
The future of mobility lies in software-defined fleets that are intelligent, connected, and user-centric. This fireside chat brings together Javed Khan, President of Software and Advanced Safety and User Experience, Aptiv and Carl Anthony, Host, AutoVision News Radio, to discuss how AI and connectivity are unlocking the full potential of vehicles and connected devices. We will explore how Aptiv is leveraging AI/ML to enhance vehicle intelligence, from advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) to in-cabin experiences.
The conversation will also delve into examine the critical role of secure and reliable connectivity, including 5G, in enabling seamless data flow and over-the-air updates that continuously improve vehicle performance and user experience.
KEYNOTE
KEEPING THE CUSTOMER AT THE CENTER OF THE EXPERIENCE
Wednesday 11th June | 09:30am EDT | Room 142A-C
Dr. Maureen August
Lab Group Manager, R&D
Customer experience means many things to a consumer. With the growth of technology and greater information being shared, it is more important then ever that we can anticipate to our customer’s needs. The ability to create a compelling customer experience starts with trust and reliability. Our goal should be a personal experience that makes their day better.
Our job is to understand our customers and meet them where they are on that drive. To do this we will need sensing, adaptability, and reliability. Hardware and software will need to be leveraged to create this experience. How do we create an experience that is seamless and makes the drive both enjoyable and safe?
KEYNOTE
DRIVING INNOVATION: THE EVOLVING LANDSCAPE OF AUTOMOTIVE IMAGE SENSORS
Wednesday 11th June | 11:20am EDT | AutoSens Exhibition Stage
Eiichi Funatsu
VP of Technology
The automotive camera industry is accelerating into an era of unprecedented innovation, where image sensors must meet diverse and rapidly evolving demands.
From high-resolution front-view cameras with LED Flicker Mitigation (LFM) to the integration of surround-view cameras with e-mirror systems and security applications, each use case presents unique challenges.
This keynote will explore how these evolving demands shape image sensor architectures, future system designs, and perception methodologies.
KEYNOTE
BALANCING PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY: RIGHT-SIZING ADAS SENSOR SUITES THROUGH SENSOR FUSION
Wednesday 11th June | 11:45am EDT | AutoSens Exhibition Stage
Elizabeth Kao
Director of Product Management for ADAS
As the automotive industry pushes forward with ADAS and autonomous driving, achieving the delicate balance between safety and system efficiency is more crucial than ever. While the performance of sensors continues to improve, the increasing volume of data these sensors generate brings with it greater complexity, higher computational demands, and escalating costs. But do we really need to equip every vehicle with the most expensive LiDAR, radar, and cameras to enable autonomous features? Or is there a smarter, more efficient approach to designing sensor suites?
Join Elizabeth Kao, Director of Product Management for ADAS at Bosch for her keynote at AutoSens USA as she explores how sensor fusion can “right-size” ADAS sensor suites to optimize performance without compromising safety. By combining camera and high-precision radar sensors and leveraging machine learning, we can significantly enhance safety systems, such as Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), even in challenging conditions like the dark of the night. Discover how this innovative approach can extend detection range and improve system efficiency, paving the way for smarter, more cost-effective ADAS solutions.
KEYNOTE
DRIVING INNOVATION: AUTOMOTIVE PARTNERSHIP ECOSYSTEMS FOR CENTRALIZED SENSOR PROCESSING IN HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING ARCHITECTURES
Thursday 12th June | 2:20pm EDT | AutoSens Exhibition Stage
Emily Robb
Sr Fellow AI/AD Sensing, Processing, Localization
As high-performance embedded computing platforms gain traction in the automotive sector, OEMs are increasingly embracing innovative system architectures and collaborative approaches. The centralization of computing capabilities allows what were once multiple separate ECUs to be consolidated into a single ECU, utilizing a collection of SoCs. This shift introduces new integration interfaces.
The centralization of high-bandwidth sensor data processing presents a unique opportunity for various customer feature applications to enhance their performance by accessing more raw information than ever before. By leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence, existing features can be significantly improved. Additionally, new customer features can emerge by unlocking access to sensor data that was previously restricted by low-bandwidth network connections to edge ECUs.
Integrating multiple applications within the same SoC or ECU ecosystem paves the way for a transformative approach to automotive systems design & integration, emphasizing the integration of applications that share computing resources. To achieve highly computationally efficient and well-integrated solutions, OEMs will require a robust ecosystem of partners.
