Autonomous technology has taken the world by storm. From passenger and commercial vehicles, to defense, public transportation and off road vehicles, almost every industry with vehicles as the primary focus is turning to the IRobot technology. Collision avoidance, hands free driving, encrypted customer data transfer and V2V communication, are a few of the substantial benefits realized by businesses and consumers once autonomous technology is officially implemented. However, the discussion can not and will not stop at the ''flashy technology''. The incorporation and introduction of regulations, standards, vehicle implications and advanced research and development will allow the technological dream to become a reality.
In the wake of series of successful events in the Autonomous technology space, we are proud to present to you our
Autonomous Vehicles Summit. This unparalleled event will take place on August 22-24 in Detroit, and will boast three different tracks: Business Strategy, Technical Advancements, and our executive level Blue Sky track. During the course of the three days, you will be exposed to a vast amount of knowledge from numerous industries all looking to incorporate autonomous technology into their business structure.
At the
Autonomous Vehicles Summit, we are going to be driving into the future; will you be joining the ride?
