The message of this year’s conference is clear: the need for agile tech innovation and a laser-like focus on putting the customer first; whether in terms of user experience or new business models. For the first time, rapid developments in AI and data analytics make the promise of a truly personalised mobility experience closer to a reality.
Gareth Ragg, Managing Director of TU-Automotive, said “Since the turn of the century TU-Automotive Detroit has united the worlds of automotive and digital. It’s the annual event around which the connected vehicle developed from exciting but niche technology into shaping the entire future of mobility.”
He continued, “This year, to maximize ROI for attendees we are introducing new conference and networking formats such as roundtables and speed networking. In the self-learning era for auto, no one company or single part of the value chain can do this alone. We are proud to offer the forum for everyone to unite together.”
This year’s TU-Automotive Detroit promises to answer every pressing question facing the industry, including automation, business strategy, HMI, cybersecurity, the data exchange, smart cities and more. Here are some key topics:
Auto Enters the Self-Learning Era: Deliver the Personalized Mobility Experience
• Pivot from Metal to Mobility: Create customer-first products and services, e.g. dynamic leasing & in-car payments. Engage consumers and diversify revenue streams to unlock the ‘new auto business’
• Test Track or Highway? From tech development (perception & AI) to overcoming societal barriers (regulation & trust), map out the billions of miles required to validate AVs. What’s the risk/ reward ratio?
• Cybersecurity Never Sleeps: With auto attack surfaces proliferating, collaborate with regulators, associations and partners to create best practices for end-to-end cybersecurity
• Next-Gen Wireless Infrastructure: Evaluate 5G vs. LTE vs. DSRC for the roll out of data-thirsty IVI, critical OTA services and future-proofed ADAS. Which spectrums deliver on speed, safety and security?
• Build the Smart Urban Ecosystem: Think beyond the car and transportation silos in a data-sharing urban mobility mix. Keep auto brands relevant as cities invest millions to become sustainable and smart
