How to Halve the Energy Consumption of EVs
The three main concerns for buying EVs are range, cost, and charging. Energy consumption is the key driver for all three, and therefore is the main focus of Lightyear’s mission to deliver clean mobility for everyone.
To achieve roughly half of the energy consumption of current EVs, Lightyear has developed the Lightyear 0 solar car from the ground up, including 4 motors directly in the wheels and 5 square meters of solar panels. Besides an overview of where the company stands today, how they got there, and a peek into where they're going, Lightyear’s CTO will dive into the Model-Based Design process that enabled this radical reduction in energy consumption, the technology that resulted from it, and how MATLAB and Simulink are used along the way.
Arjo van der Ham
Lightyear
Arjo van der Ham is co-founder and chief technology officer of Lightyear, a Dutch company commercializing solar-powered electric vehicles. He is responsible for engineering, research, testing, and intellectual property and focuses mostly on core technologies and design process. Arjo holds an M.Sc. in power electronics from the Eindhoven University of Technology.
Software Transformation in Automotive: A DevOps View
Transforming current automotive business models requires vehicles to be software-defined and a fresh take at how that software is built. Model-Based Design is already being leveraged with containers and continuous integration pipelines to design, test, and deploy software-defined systems on modern vehicles. Hear how MathWorks is partnering with the industry to extend its offerings—making them more turnkey to support methods and process in DevOps.
Penny Anderson
MathWorks
Penny Anderson is director of software development at MathWorks. Her focus is leading the cross-organizational DevOps for MATLAB and Simulink program. Her other responsibilities include core parts of MATLAB—Math and Data Science—as well as several mathematical toolboxes. She has worked at MathWorks since 1996, beginning her career in the MATLAB Math group. She has a B.Sc. in honors mathematics and an M.Sc. in computer science, both from McGill University in Canada.
The Next Level of Software Development in Commercial Vehicles
MAN develops commercial vehicles that are—thanks to digitalization—fully connected software and server platforms. In this keynote, learn about the possibilities of the current systems and how the development process is enabling those possibilities. New boundary conditions are leading to a new development approach. Hear about different perspectives of the approach and the roles of Android Automotive, ROS, and Adaptive AUTOSAR. MAN is in the last step of transformation towards becoming a software company.
Stefan Teuchert
MAN Truck & Bus
Stefan Teuchert is senior vice president of research and development and is responsible for the development of electric/electronic and software, including automated driving, at TRATON SE and at MAN Truck & Bus SE. In 2016, he worked with the Digital Venture GmbH in Berlin to generate new digital business models and founded new companies (startups). From 2009 to 2016, Stefan lead function and software development for powertrain (including ePowertrain), connectivity, and driver assistance systems. During that time, he built up in-house software development and restructured the organization to an IT house with a clear separation between hardware and software. From 2004 to 2009, he was responsible for testing, base software, and tool development. He started his career in the DHL Logistic Group optimizing routes with mathematical and heuristic approaches.
