Featured Sessions
Sameer Prabhu, Ph.D., Worldwide Industry Marketing Director, MathWorks United States
Keynote: Driving the Future: Transformational Changes in the Automotive Industry
The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation, driven by technologies such as electrification, software-defined architecture, artificial intelligence, and digital twins. These innovations are entering the market at an unprecedented pace, giving rise to new players who are reshaping how cars are designed and built. It remains to be seen whether these new entrants, with their clean-slate development approaches, or traditional automakers, with their deep experience but steeper learning curves, will ultimately dominate the market. Borrowing lessons from other industries offers both groups valuable strategies to adapt and thrive. In this talk, explore how cross-industry trends and the systematic use of models and data throughout the development process and ecosystem can accelerate the automotive industry’s transformation.
