USA 2019

Operational, System and Functional Safety for Level 4+ Automation

• USA is America’s first platform bringing together all stakeholders who play an active role in the achievement of functional, system & operational safety in hardware & software for highly & fully automated driving.
• The first edition of this interactive event is coming to the USA on February 28 till March 01, 2019 at the South San Francisco Conference Center, California.
• 30+ industry focused thought leaders will speak and share their perspectives on challenges and trends in the field.
• 100+ decision makers, influencers, and thought leader will exchange knowledge, experiences and project developments in regards to all aspects of operational, system and functional safety in autonomous vehicle systems.

Berlin, October 22, 2018 - After the successful launch in Europe, the pioneering will hit the USA this February 28 till March 01 2019 in San Francisco, California. The is a two-day B2B event, which combines an inspirational agenda about technical innovations, latest updates to regulations, and challenges regarding operational safe systems in Level 4 & 5 vehicles with interactive networking sessions.

Keynote speaker like Noah Zych (Uber), Jin Shang (GAC Group R&D Center Silicon Valley), Ahmed Yousif (Valeo), Zhenchun Xia (Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America), John Thomas (MIT) and many more share their experiences on autonomous vehicles. 100 functional safety, system safety, testing & validation experts and ADAS executives discuss real-world use cases for business development and innovation & growth strategies.

The Future of Autonomous Vehicles: Functional Safety and Artificial Intelligence

Co-hosted with the , which focuses on the application of AI in the development of automated and cognitive vehicles, both conferences bring together more than 300 of the industry’s most influential decision makers from companies like: Bosch, Continental, GM, Uber, GAIC, Ford, Nvidia, ZF and many more. The B2B events are organized by Global Leaders, which specializes in creating interactive business events and business communities, headquartered in Berlin, Germany.

Multi-Touchpoint Concept

has established new conversational processes like world cafés, bar camps, open space and more than 20 interactive formats which are based on scientific principles. The formats are intended to facilitate open and intimate discussion, and link ideas within a larger group to access the “collective intelligence” or “collective wisdom”. This Multi-Touchpoint Concept is module-based to fit the needs of the conference attendees. While have traditional formats like keynotes, use cases and solution studies, the concepts opens up room for deep driving discussions, networking and knowledge transfer.
