The automotive braking segment is in a stable phase compared to the rapid developments in the last decade. Now, the industry focus is shifting; brake systems are no longer being looked at as an independent system, but rather a sub-system of a fully integrated chassis system.
Brake-by-wire has become a commodity in the last 12 months, with the innovation in L4 autonomous vehicles and increasing software and system complexity now the biggest drivers for change. Advancements in autonomy and the immaturity of new integrated chassis systems are creating new challenges for the brake industry to ensure safety and optimal performance while keeping costs low.
OEMs & suppliers are actively discussing challenges in Euro 7 compliance, scale-up of brake-by-wire and electro-mechanical brakes, evolving drivability and brake performance, and ensuring optimal synchronisation between hardware and software components. The industry looks set to enter into a transition phase, as OEMs look to increase in-house software development, suppliers look to optimse product personalisation to maintain their industry stronghold.
The 16th Automotive Braking Systems Europe 2024 event returns to Munich, Germany this November, providing a platform to share lessons learned, and deliver expert-led presentations and discussions, offering critical and immediate solutions to imminent challenges facing the braking market, delving into continuing trends in integrated chassis control, and networking with experts from across the chassis segment.
Part of the Automotive Chassis Systems Conferences, alongside the Automotive Steering Systems and Advanced Suspension Systems events, this year's Automotive Braking Systems event will once again bring together experts in the chassis domain for 3 days of invaluable networking, technical content, and multi-stakeholder discussion sessions.
The event helped me understanding the big picture of trends in braking systems which I think will be very valuable for my company.
I found the event very valuable, because of the different perspectives and the coverage of areas that are influenced or influence braking (AI, AD, Cyber Security, Vehicle Motion Control)
Good presentations with the perfect trade off between news, technical content and high level information sharing.
10/10, must attend next time again. Very comprehensive insights and high value for the business.
