OVERVIEW:
This presentation will explore key enabling technologies, trends and adoption drivers for autonomous vehicles (AVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). AVs require the confluence of new technologies like sensor fusion, artificial intelligence, connectivity and security, in addition to a supportive policy, certification and regulatory environment. Improved fuel economy and reduced emissions are leading to the broader adoption of EVs. We’ll explore drivers by region, the various types of electric motors and the key technologies being used in EVs such as new wide band gap semiconductor devices.
