Collaboration and partnerships- the way forward is together

The roadmap to autonomy is not a lonely one. Companies are realising that there are many tech, regulatory and adoption challenges to come. These are better tackled together rather than alone. Even if this means working with a fierce competitor.
As we see companies working together to get over the level 3, 4 and 5 hurdles there are so many different areas of development which can benefit from competitors teaming up.
Understand the key areas which the biggest and most influential OEMs, Tier 1s and vendors are working together to share ideas and keep costs down, without sacrificing competitive edge. How can you initiate more collaboration within your business?

Developing trust in ADAS and autonomy

Drivers make the most mistakes. The first step in developing trust is showing the public that autonomous technology will be safer than human drivers. This is an industry wide issue to be addressed together.
As more ADAS features become mandated by the government, private car owners need to understand the value proposition and how to use systems effectively and safely.
Find out what the industry is working on to build trust from drivers and lay the groundwork for the acceptance of autonomous vehicles when they hit the road.
