Technological Challenges in Autonomous Driving

Abstract

Automotive world is quickly moving towards another revolution of driverless cars. To realize this dream in large scale will see lots of challenges in terms of product development. In this talk, I would like to address different problems which automotive industry will have to face to make this a reality. Today automotive product development and testing has matured enough to provide a reliable product to end customer. Autonomous driving will introduce complex algorithms to take actuation decision based on various sensors inputs. Managing these complex algorithms seamlessly and testing to ensure robustness will introduce new development process steps and tools. Also, the demand from the electronics to process these algorithms in real time with less power consumption will arise. Another important aspect would be to meet automotive grade and safety level. A glance at these challenges and way to overcome them will be discussed.
