AutoSens Detroit examines critical concerns, underscores great needs
Written by Carl Anthony, Managing Editor at Automoblog.net for Autonomoblog.net. Re-purposed for AutoSens 2018. What is an autonomous car? It seems easy enough – a vehicle that operates itself – but a recent study found some confusion. Fewer than half correctly identified an autonomous vehicle as one controlled entirely by autonomous technology. About 40 percent believed […]

Working in the technology sector, it’s typical to find innovations appearing which solve technical problems. Good ideas float to the top, become popular and then financial success follows. I was recently conducting sit-down interviews with guests from across a variety of industries which somehow all connect to transport, a sprinkling of technical consultants, a senior […]
Read moreWhy you’re more likely to get an autonomy job in Michigan than California
There may be twice as many technology employers in California, but competing against the world’s talent is tough! You’re actually about twice as likely to get a job in Michigan and surrounding states, as there’s a lot less competition and far more employers (per head of population). The real difference between those two states alone […]
Read moreWhy do edge cases make system design really hard?
About 18 months ago, I was sketching out a problem with how equestrian road users – horse riders – might be seen, or rather, not seen, by ADAS or autonomous vehicle perception systems. It developed into a number of wheeling and occasionally humourous conversations, many of which I used to demonstrate why vehicle perception can […]
Read moreCould edge computing resolve a cluster of driverless technology problems?
Take any autonomous R&D vehicle apart and you’re very likely to find a central nervous system, which is understandably bulky. Equipment racks, power smoothing systems, inertia measurement boxes and a spaghetti nest of ethernet and power cables attached to devices scattered around the vehicle, feeding into a fairly powerful compute platform, at least one spare […]

Industry unites to tackle ADAS and Autonomous technology challenges This year’s AutoSens Detroit (14-17 May 2018, Michigan Science Center, Detroit MI) speaker line up reads impressively as a who’s who of autonomous vehicle industry stars, leaders, movers and shakers including speakers from Ford, Magna, NVidia, Valeo, Robert Bosch, Carnegie Mellon, University of Michigan, Google, Intel, […]
Read moreWhy our greatest success is a disappointing reflection of the automotive industry
Why having a 25% female speaker line-up has made Alex Lawrence-Berkeley really angry Until a couple of years ago, I had worked in events, media and publishing, and had never noticed any gender bias. Because of this, my arrival working within the automotive sector was like being pushed off a cliff into the dark ages. […]
Read moreWill half the US really be 20 years behind the driverless revolution?
We are now accustomed to seeing celebratory back-slapping PR and press coverage as driverless vehicles entered the public conscience around the world in 2017, but given the gravitational pull of the world’s autonomous industries towards places like Silicon Valley, I started to think about what a real tour of the USA would look like if […]

AutoSens invests in future industry at Michigan Science Center
AutoSens in Detroit, the influential vehicle perception event taking place on May 14-17, 2018, has confirmed a new venue in the heart of Detroit’s historic Midtown district, at the inspiring Michigan Science Center. World-class facilities, including the Chrysler IMAX Dome and the Toyota Engineering 4D Theatre, both of which will be used during the AutoSens […]
Read moreAutoSens at AutoWorld in 2017: Discovering innovations in sensor technology, testing and validation methodologies and advances in processing hardware and software.
We couldn’t be happier with how AutoSens went this year. After bursting onto the conference scene just 12 months ago, it has been a busy year for the Sense Media team, but we believe the 2017 Brussels conference is where we saw it really all come together with 450 attendees at the event in AutoWorld.
