Programme Highlights

Autonomous transport systems have been developing over the past few decades, but the current generation of vehicles feature automotive sensory technologies that only assist the driver with navigation. Rapid progress is being made to combine advanced software with commercially available technologies with the end goal of removing the human component altogether. This seminar will present driver-assisted and driverless systems to reduce collisions and increase safety in the transportation of the future.

Speaker 1: Mr. Tony Tung from Mobileye presenting “ADAS, Big Data and Smart Cities – How to Use Technology to Save Lives”.
