Top experts will take to the stage this October to explore the latest advancements, challenges, trends, and solutions within the ADAS and AV fields. A few experts you will hear from include Volvo‘s Senior Technical Leader of AD/ADAS Safety, General Motors‘ Researcher, and Euro NCAP‘s Technical Manager of ADAS & AD.
Take a look at these Top AutoSens sessions below ⬇
Håkan Sivencrona
Senior Technical Leader – AD/ADAS Safety
Designing a Virtual Verification Machine for Safety Assurance of Continuously Evolving Automated Driving Systems
Continuous integration and deployment, including machine learning, enables frequent releases through DevOps and agile practices. In contrast, safety-critical systems rely on rigorous design-for-safety and lengthy Verification & Validation (V&V) cycles, since safety depends on the entire system’s behavior in real environments. Recent research under “SafeOps” or “SafeDevOps,” such as the German AutoDevSafeOps project, explores methods to combine DevOps speed with safety engineering.
Guy Heller
Researcher
Finetuning for Object Level Open Vocabulary Image Retrieval
Modern ADAS and autonomous systems produce massive sensor datasets, demanding intelligent tools to retrieve images via natural language queries. General Motors, FOR (Finetuning for Object-Level Open Vocabulary Image Retrieval), fine-tunes CLIP on target datasets while preserving visual-language alignment, delivering significant accuracy gains over prior approaches for tasks like rare-object mining, annotation, and evaluation.
Adriano Palao
Technical Manager ADAS & AD
Closing Keynote: Euro NCAP’s vision towards driver-centric ADAS: 2026 and beyond
In this keynote, Adriano outlines Euro NCAP’s vision for integrating Driver Monitoring Systems into the core of Crash Avoidance strategies by embedding the unique context of the driver’s state. All you need to know about the upcoming 2026 (and beyond) Test and Assessment protocols designed to accelerate this shift, demonstrating how context-aware ADAS can reduce false positives, improve intervention timing, and ultimately save lives.
