Prominent Auto Industry Technologist to Keynote Vehicle Displays & Interfaces Detroit, Sep. 24-25 Keynote to Focus on HMI Opportunities Between Now and Autonomous Drive

DETROIT, July 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Detroit Chapter of the Society for Information Display (SID) is pleased to announce that Douglas E. Patton, Principal at Jupiter Consulting LLC, will deliver the keynote address at the 26th SID Vehicle Displays & Interfaces Symposium and Expo Detroit to take place September 24-25, 2019, at the Burton Manor Conference Center, Livonia, MI.

Doug Patton is uniquely qualified to provide the most current perspective, insights, and likely evolutionary path of the vehicle cockpit experience, with all its underlying advancements in interaction between driver, passenger, and vehicle. Doug will open this year's SID Vehicle Displays & Interfaces Detroit with a keynote address titled "HMI Opportunities Between Now and Autonomous Drive".

Doug is the former Executive Vice President Engineering, CTO, and Senior Technical advisor at DENSO International America, Inc, where he provided input and support on all aspects of R&D in North America. His wide-ranging responsibilities included climate control, engine components, systems and components, engine electrical, safety products, cluster, in-vehicle-infotainment (IVI), and body electronics. Doug earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, as well as his Master of Business Administration from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. He is an Engineering Society of Detroit fellow and past president of both the Engineering Society of Detroit and SAE International.

Doug's keynote address will span current-day human machine interface (HMI) developments and advancements, followed by a short and long-term outlook at what's on the horizon for emerging technologies and opportunities that could impact autonomous drive vehicles. His presentation will delve into public perception, technology, and how industry might bridge the gap, which will resonate with the vehicle display community, from academia and design engineering, to display creators, startups, vehicle OEMS, and Tier 1 suppliers.

The Vehicle Displays & Interfaces Detroit Symposium and Expo combine to create the world's most comprehensive full-spectrum forum serving the vehicle display and interface value chain, with a focus on next-generation in-vehicle displays, interfaces, and systems shaping the future of the autonomous drive experience in the trillion-dollar global vehicle marketplace.

Hundreds of automotive OEM professionals, designers, engineers, scientists, technologists, researchers, and systems integrators, as well as manufacturers, are expected to gather for two immersive days at the 26th annual SID Vehicle Displays & Interfaces Detroit. The technical program features presentations by visionary scientists, engineers, and technologists from the global display, HMI, vehicle systems, photonics, academic, and auto OEM communities. These peer-reviewed papers provide in-depth knowledge and insights on the latest scientific advances, most recent breakthroughs, and potentially revolutionary applications.
