"It’s really good, a lot of informative talks and a good panel discussions. I was contacted to come and speak here on a panel. When I first looked it up, I saw a lot of interesting companies here so I thought why not make a trip to Brussels! I wanted to see vision processing systems and systems to make deep learning inference more robust and faster, more real-time, and I’ve gotten to see a lot of that here. Absolutely excited to see the quality of exhibitors, there’s good presentation material and good demos." Jim Aldon D’Souza, TomTom
"AutoSens brings together experts from the complete supply chain. I’ve been in the Tier 1 business and now I’m at a university. It’s just an awesome opportunity to get all the partners together, people I can do research with and the amount of expertise you have here, the companies are actually sending here is awesome, so it’s really really great. It’s really the networking actually, and I have had some extremely great talks. Felix Heide from Algolux today just blew my mind, awesome talk, really great content. And it’s that level of detail that some companies are presenting here.. also the Robert Bosch simulations - that’s an openness of letting us look into what they’re doing which is very very special, and then you meet people, and you get to network and it’s a great opportunity to exchange ideas. There is no replacement for direct personal contact, it doesn’t matter where you are, here you meet people you want to meet." Alexander Braun, Hochshule Dusseldorf UAS
"It’s a great experience, for me it’s the first time to AutoSens and I’ve enjoyed it so, so much and because this is a very young area of research in a young field, it’s very helpful for engineers like me to see what the trends in the field are, to get yourself introduced to very innovative stuff. I came because we wanted to network with the industry and understand where the industry is going, everything is moving so fast when it comes to ADAS and autonomous driving. So many components that are coming together at one time that we have to focus on what’s important. There are many factors that are very important so one is to make sure we are talking to the right leaders in the industry to make sure that we’re putting together the best plans for our products. I think the best thing is all of the presentations, as well as the networking with some of the key industry leaders. Because of the wealth of information shared here through the presentations as well as having many of the industry leaders in the same place at the same time." Zeph Freeman, Microchip Technology
"I’m coming from a Swedish company based in Stockholm, and we have optics specialists and optics competence as well as image analysis competence as well so we can hire the competence of people to other companies that are doing, for example automotive field. We are also doing other branches and other fields but automotive is very hot now so we think this is a very exciting field to be in to see all these things happening in imaging and vision. There are so many interesting things here… I think it’s really nice to get the overview of everything that’s happening with different sensors. We are doing both lidar and radar and vision, so to get the whole picture. Automotive is a little bit new for us, so also to understand the whole supply chain, I’ve learned so much today and met some really nice people so it’s really interesting." Linda Haals, Eclipse Optics
"My colleague Faye and I have joined AutoSens to talk about vehicle cyber security. As we’re evolving towards autonomous vehicles we need to maintain the trust of our customers, the trust of our regulators, and one of the cornerstones of that is making sure that everything is secure and that it works while we build these innovative technologies. To me, the really valuable piece about the AutoSens conference is the roundtables, getting to sit together with other experts, sharing stories, exchanging ideas and learning together. Explore and figure out what you really like. Cyber security and this technology field in generally - there is an opportunity to find a niche that is really yours. Figuring out what that is, takes the ambition, the courage and takes the time to go and explore." Alexandra Heckler, AUTO-ISAC
“I’m here looking for auto manufacturers who are trying to train their computer vision algorithms because my company annotate images, we create the ground truth for computer vision algorithms. I love the venue, I’ve been a little distracted by the venue, but the talks are great. Everybody seems to be very open, I contacted lots of people via the app, and everyone’s been open to discussing their needs. Our mission, as a non-profit, is to create jobs so what we do is create jobs through image annotation projects, so I go to auto manufacturers such as Volvo or Jaguar, and say you guys are training your computer vision algorithm, we have agents in Kenya and India, we train them, annotate them, send them back, so we’re able to create jobs and fill a need in the industry. I would definitely recommend AutoSens to other people in industry, especially as it’s in Brussels!” Ashley Cline, Samasource
