The Future of Growth in Mobility:
AI Comes of Age

A new factor of technology is on the mobility horizon, and it promises to transform the mobility industry and economic growth like nothing before. Why are we still struggling to harness the value and where are the opportunities?
4:25 - 4:55 p.m.
Leveraging Data & AI as an automotive OEM:
A Commercial Vehicles Perspective

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is performing a major transformation from traditional vehicle manufacturer to mobility provider. In this talk we will present common challenges of using data & AI as an OEM, and provide examples of current AI products, such as: predictive maintenance, charging infrastructure optimization or customer vehicle analytics.

Coffee Break
5:20 - 5:50 p.m.
Combining AI and CAE in Order to Save Lives
In this talk we will present MDGo’s real-time trauma analysis system. Starting from understanding the problem of reporting injuries from a car crash scene, what has been done in the past and how data science provides a breakthrough which can potentially save the lives of thousands annually. As AI algorithms require large data sets, the second part of the talk will be dedicated to the data – how does MDGo utilizes crash tests and CAE in order to develop its AI algorithms, and interestingly enough, how does MDGo’s AI algorithm can improve crash testing and CAE.
5:50 - 6:20 p.m
AI Acceleration Using Xilinx SoC
The need for AI engines in edge applications like Automotive enforce the need for AI Accelerators with emphasis on cost, power, integration and design flexibility. Xilinx All Programmable SoCs with DPU accelerator dedicated to AI and toolchain fulfil that need.
6:20 - 6:45 p.m.
Experts Panel: Expending Automotive AI Horizon
The use of various AI technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, computer vision and more has become a major tool in today’s Auto-tech world. Solutions addressing object detection, route optimization, sensor fusion and more are commonly used. The panel “expending Automotive AI horizon” will discuss the next move in this domain. What new applications will be powered by AI technologies? what advanced tools will play a major role? and what new opportunities might be the ground for new startups and projects?

Presentation Abstract

The Future of Growth in Mobility: AI Comes of Age

A new factor of technology is on the mobility horizon, and it promises to transform the mobility industry and economic growth like nothing before. Why are we still struggling to harness the value and where are the opportunities?

AI is, without question, is the single most disruptive technology the world has experienced since the Industrial Revolution. However, while AI has generated justified energy and excitement in the mobility space - its core promises are still arguably 30+ year old concepts destined to fail before prime time. Challenges include C-suite support, ethical and legal issues with the use of connected and/or autonomous systems, end-user distrust in reasoning, errors and biases, the rise of inadvertent side effects, and how to implement end to end security. To really enable mobility adoption, AI not only needs to work but also drive value which also means addressing the “data” problem. Join Accenture’s Monika Minarcin as she shares her take on developing and implementing the successful AI scenarios for mobility – today and in the future.
