CUTTING-EDGE SESSIONS
Who attended Autonomous Driving 2014 ?
we.CONECT invited to 4 Icebreaker roundtables before the conference start, giving attendees a first opportunity to network, benchmark and discuss autonomous driving related topics in small groups, while getting to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere over snacks & drinks under the motto: ‘Breaking the ice and getting the show on the road!’
On the first conference day, attendees participated in 8 innovative and stimulating challenge Your Peers roundtable discussions, each of which approached individual matters in an interactive style:
Defining the Roadmap Towards Autonomous Driving Defining Profitable Business Models for Autonomous Driving How Much of a Threat are Google & Other New Entrants to the Auto Industry Legal Aspects of Autonomous Driving Autonomous Driving – The User Experience Discussing Future Mobility Concepts & Human Factors Discussing System Requirements for Autonomous Driving
9 World Café sessions offered newly intensive and provoking ways of exchanging experiences and knowledge collectively with peers on the second day:
Advanced Testing – Validation of Deterministic Systems in Non-Deterministic Environment HMI Requirements for Autonomous Vehicles Aiming at Compatibility of Safety and Efficiency of Road Traffic User Experience in Vehicles: What is the Impact of Autonomous Driving on Driving Behavior and Driving Experience Defining Deployment Potential for Autonomous Vehicles in Various Regions Zoox – Thinking Autonomous Mobility From a Product Vision Perspective Key Research Questions in Autonomous Vehicle Development Safety & Risk Issues of Self Driving Cars Sensors to Support Autonomous Driving

HIGHLIGHT SPEAKERS & KEYNOTES ICEBREAKER · Emilio Frazzoli, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) / USA Emilio Frazzoli broke the ice among the community raising the question How will Autonomous Vehicles Influence Future Mobility? Frazzoli extended his discussion in a case study on autonomy and the future of urban mobility, outlining a paradigm shift in automotive transportation and paths to full autonomy.
CASE STUDY · Dr. Hariolf Gentner, BMW / Germany Dr. Hariolf Gentner related the consistent interface between customer functions and environment sensors, as well as sensor data fusion and scene description, in his case study From Single Sensors to the Environment Model: On the Road to Highly Automated Driving, pointing out the centralized environment model as a prerequisite for highly automated driving.
CASE STUDY · Karlheinz Haupt, Continental Corporation / Germany Karlheinz Haupt led a case study approaching the Strategic Roadmap – From ADAS to Highly Automated Driving. He analyzed the status of ADAS today, dipped into market influences by EuroNCAP and safety, and depicted various requirements towards highly automated driving on the example of Continental’s roadmap. KEYNOTE · Dr. Sven Beiker, Center for Automotive Research Stanford University / USA Dr. Sven Beiker opened his keynote with the claim Automated Driving – Sooner Than You Might Think, and Different Than You Might Expect. He explored the real transition from non-automated driving to automated driving and considered the journey from automated vehicles to self-driving cars.
CASE STUDY · Dr. Bakhtiar Litkouhi, General Motors Research & Development / USA Dr. Bakhtiar Litkouhi set the focus of his case study on the Automated Vehicle Landscape and Related Challenges, in which he discussed the evolution of automated driving and future hurdles to overcome. Outlining possible scenarios for automated driving, Litkouhi discussed technologies to enable the realization of autonomous driving in the various phases towards full autonomy.
