USA 2019

Deep Driving Technologies & Computer Vision for Cognitive Vehicles

Berlin, October 22, 2018 – The USA is an international business event about the impact of AI, machine learning, perception & imaging in level 4+ self-driving vehicles. From February 28 – March 01, 2019 the conference gathers the leading technical professionals in autonomous vehicle R&D from OEMs, Tier 1, automotive suppliers, start-ups and renowned research institutes focusing on the development of sensor and imaging vision systems with AI and deep learning as well as the application of AI in the development of fully autonomous vehicles.

The USA is a unique combination of industry-driven keynotes, moderated World Café & Challenge Your Peers sessions, our Start Up pitches, an Autonomous Driving Day, an Icebreaker and much more. These formats are part of the proven Multi-Touchpoint-Concept, which is intended to facilitate open and intimate discussions about the potentials of AI among the conference. The AD experts from companies like Volvo US R&D Tech Center, BMW, Toyota Research Institute, Honda Research Institute, TomTom, Uber, BYTON, Berkley University and many more will not only listen to practical insights from industrial case studies about state of the art algorithms for computer vision and machine learning including those most important for the automotive industry. With the USA taking place in parallel, they can connect with colleagues with expertise in operational safety during the interactive breaks and debate current challenges or best practices to get new ideas for the automotive industry.

Conference Highlights:

• Keynote: Opening the Black Box of Automotive AI – A Visual Analytics Approach to Increasing Safety of Autonomous Systems

Liu Ren and Axel Wendt (Robert Bosch LLC) present interpretability of black box AI algorithms and testing data matters in effective testing.

• World Café: Connected Automated Driving - Design & Technical Challenges of Cooperative Perception

Jenny Elfsberg (Volvo Group) discusses with the conference attendees which role platooning is playing in the development of cooperative perception?

• Case study: AI Neuroscience - Can we understand the neural networks we train? In this talk, Dr. Jason Yosinski (Uber AI Labs) looks at a collection of research aimed at shrinking this gap, with approaches including interactive model exploration, optimization, and visualization.

• Challenge Your Peers: Autonomous Driving Mavericks – Building save AVs without using HD Maps?

Together with Nikhil George (Volkswagen Electronics Research Lab) the participants discuss why the industry feels HD maps are necessary, whether this poses a problem and what hurdles need to be overcome before we can drive without HD maps.
