IEEE-DAY: "The Automotive Technological Revolution and the Future of Personal Mobility"; GBS VTS WEEK, WEBINAR #3 of 3
In an ever-growing populous world, the automotive industry is faced with
opportunities and challenges, which have been driving fundamental and revolutionary changes to
the automotive DNA. In the coming years, advances in vehicle electrification, connectivity, and
autonomous driving capability will combine to make our cars and trucks much different and much
safer than those on the road today. Extensive automotive research, conducted over the past
10-15 years, has paved the way for the commercial introduction of these capabilities. With these
new technologies, in addition to a substantial enhancement in fuel economy, the industry will
experience a dramatic leap in active safety systems and hopefully a dramatic decline in injuries
and fatalities on our roadways.
