You’ll learn where technical executives will focus their resources over the next four to six years, as well as the challenges that keep them up at night.
Prediction Sneak Peek
With the continued rise of electric infrastructure and enabling technologies, including AI and machine learning, HMI, and enabled digital services, the future of the automotive ecosystem is a mix of promise, opportunities, and challenges. Two panelists weigh in on what they expect to see.
“Increasing focus on the use of AI as a co-driver, coach, driving instructor, and guardian angel—or SuperADAS—which is fully aware of the environment, driving situation, and most appropriate actions to take to maintain driver safety.” – Bryn Balcombe, Roborace
“The past year, oil prices have had a negative effect on demand growth, but we are seeing a huge drop just within the last month that will help drive the industry next year.” – Trisha Curtis, PetroNerds
