Unlike humans, autonomous vehicles cannot see, think, or act for themselves. Instead, they rely on high-definition maps to supply a pre-encoded context about the environment. Machines cannot improvise and adapt as quickly as humans or other biological systems, so safety concerns arise if a vehicle suddenly encounters an unplanned obstruction or outdated map information. That said, can we increase a car's reliance on real-time scene construction and reduce its dependency on prior maps and

As automakers shift to electrified and software-defined vehicles, addressing cyber risk is vital, especially within the charging infrastructure. As an author, keynote speaker, and lecturer with over 25 years of experience at the intersection of technology and business, Professor Koehler joins us to share valuable insights on the future of electrification, autonomy, and cybersecurity. We also talk about Professor Koehler's work as an author and the vehicle that "puts a grin on his face"

In the context of automotive safety, we don't usually think of cybersecurity as being experienced dynamically and personally, at least not to the degree of something like an airbag. Yet as our cars become more software-defined, the gap between safety and security will close. Protecting our data and the integrity of the vehicle drive systems against malicious actors will be as crucial as seatbelts and crumple zones. Jennifer Tisdale, Chief Executive Officer of GRIMM, a cyber research firm, joins

An engineer, technologist, and advocate, Indu Vijayan is the Director of Product Management for AEye and the founder of Women in Autonomy. Over the years in automotive, Vijayan noticed how few women were at the table and set out to reverse this trend. Under Vijayan's leadership, Women in Autonomy has grown into an influential forum that educates, equips, and empowers women in all industries, from automotive and mobility to industrial, robotics, smart cities, and beyond. In this episode, we go

The modern automobile is a collection of many different systems combined to create a finished product. No one system is "better" than another as each serves a specific and essential function. In the same way, our automotive careers are the sum of many different experiences, none of which we should discount. Justin C. McKnight, founder of Steady Growth Consulting, is many things: an engineer, executive, technical sales professional, leadership coach, hip-hop artist, and father. Justin shows us how

Sound engineering will make a product more robust, while sound marketing will give it more reach. But what are the benchmarks for a successful marketing platform in automotive? While it's common knowledge that social media is essential, what about graphic design and written content? Katelyn Magney, founder of Magney Creative, has developed a "One Woman Show" for companies looking to overhaul their marketing and communications strategy. As the MarCom Director for VSI Labs, Katelyn oversaw the

Software-defined architectures are the key to making the "car of the future" possible. An electrified vehicle with the highest levels of connectivity and convenience can likely only be achieved through a software-centric platform. While such platforms promise increased safety, comfort, and functionality, the computing power requirements jump exponentially. To gather some insight into software-defined cars, we turned to Daniel Sisco, the Senior Director of Digital Product Strategy at Renesas. We

OEMs need cutting-edge technology that meets even the most ambitious cost reduction targets and form factor requirements. This is essential in today's ultra-competitive automotive landscape, but what is the secret? Is it having a great product or a talented team? Maybe, it's exceptional customer service? Or is it a delicate combination of all three? Andy Hanvey, Director of Automotive Marketing at OMNIVISION, shares how the company identifies market trends ahead of time and how they deliver
