Presentation One - MAKING AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES SAFER USING PHYSICS-BASED SENSOR SIMULATION AT SCALE

The primary engineering challenge in developing ADAS and Autonomous Vehicles is ensuring that they will operate safely under all situations encountered. Since they are likely to encounter many millions of different driving situations throughout the course of their operation, engineering of ADAS and AVs must comprehensively address the design and validation of their software and hardware components over millions of driving scenarios. This is a massive task involving thousands of engineers working collaboratively at OEMs as well as Tier 1 and 2 suppliers.

With high-fidelity, physics-based simulation of radar, lidar, camera, and other sensors, 1000 times more autonomous vehicle scenarios can be examined than could be assessed through physical road testing. This presentation will explore how to make autonomous driving safer and expedite the design and validation of all aspects of an automated driving system using proven physics solutions [from Ansys], including:

> Bridging the gap between component design and system V&V
> Generating synthetic sensor data for Machine Learning as well as for testing
. Using physics-based Real-Time Radar, Camera and Lidar models within driving scenarios in XiL use-cases
> Reducing field operation testing by using physics-based sensor simulation

Presentation Two – ACHIEVE SYSTEM ON CHIP FUNCTIONAL SAFETY COMPLIANCE

Discover strategies to achieve ISO 26262 ASIL compliance for functional safety software for a complex SoC via the Qualcomm experience

Achieving functional safety compliance for a complex system on a chip (SoC) involves critical decisions at various levels. Join this webinar to learn about the Qualcomm experience in achieving safety compliance for software developed as a safety element out of context (SEooC). The software for a complex SEooC involves a gamut of software deliverables including multiple processor cores, operating systems, and software environments.
Every software module and processor presents unique challenges for safety compliance. The presentation will explain how there's no one-shoe-fits-all solution for complex SoC software.

The safety architecture, tailoring, and processes followed have to be developed to reduce the safety-related risks and meet the schedule goals. The presentation will explain the methods used to improve the efficiency during the software development and testing life cycle.

Key Takeaways

Software architectural and testing challenges faced by Qualcomm and their solutions. This includes details on a scalable software architecture that can work for different use cases, customers, and SoC solutions.
The importance of using the correct tools for efficient software development and share how to use the Parasoft TÜV certified solution for ASIL compliance.
Common challenges in working across multiple teams that follow different processes that contribute to a complex SoC.
Selecting and using third-party software components with various ASIL levels and providing a safety case.
How to overcome the challenges of testing a complex SoC, which includes multiple processors and operating systems. Gain insights for choosing the right tools and key features for static analysis (MISRA, AUTOSAR, CERT C), unit testing, and code coverage.
The importance of presenting audit-acceptable testing evidence to satisfy ISO 26262 ASIL B compliance.

Presentation Three - WHAT IS THE RIGHT MIX OF AUTONOMY FOR TRUCKING? MISSING GAPS & NOVEL OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION

Autonomous trucking is poised to take over Robotaxis as the most-widespread use of an autonomous vehicle. At present, there is significant investment in long-haul trucking journeys, but what is right mix of autonomy for trucking? Where are the missing gaps and areas of opportunity?

Join this session to hear about:

> The business case for why L4 companies have shifted focus to trucking
> The financial impact of platooning
> What is sufficient level of autonomy for Platooning: L2, L3 or full autonomy?
> Building blocks that must be built, various phases and how to build it
> Where are the missing gaps and what are the opportunities for innovation for automated trucking?

Presentation Four - WHERE DOES AV & AD STAND AFTER THE PANDEMIC?

The AV industry has gone through various hype cycles and a tremendous amount of funding. However, the world faced a unique situation over the last 18-24 months, and industries where tens of billions of dollars were invested came to a grinding halt. But… what did it mean for the AV industry as a whole?

> Did the industry lose time or was it able to move ahead?
> What has the impact of disruptions in supply chains had on AV development?
> What is the outlook on available funding from governments?
> What does it mean for future commutes? And what does it mean for passenger and delivery vehicles?
