to regulations, and challenges regarding operational safe systems in Level 4 & 5 vehicles with
interactive networking sessions.
Keynote speaker like Noah Zych (Uber), Jin Shang (GAC Group R&D Center Silicon Valley), Ahmed
Yousif (Valeo), Zhenchun Xia (Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America), John Thomas (MIT) and
many more share their experiences on autonomous vehicles. 100 functional safety, system safety,
testing & validation experts and ADAS executives discuss real-world use cases for business
development and innovation & growth strategies.

The Future of Autonomous Vehicles: Functional Safety and Artificial Intelligence
Co-hosted with the Auto.AI, which focuses on the application of AI in the development of automated and
cognitive vehicles, both conferences bring together more than 300 of the industry’s most influential
decision makers from companies like: Bosch, Continental, GM, Uber, GAIC, Ford, Nvidia, ZF and many
more. The B2B events are organized by we.CONECT Global Leaders, which specializes in creating
interactive business events and business communities, headquartered in Berlin, Germany.
Multi-Touchpoint Concept
we.CONECT has established new conversational processes like world cafés, bar camps, open space
and more than 20 interactive formats which are based on scientific principles. The formats are intended
to facilitate open and intimate discussion, and link ideas within a larger group to access the “collective
intelligence” or “collective wisdom”. This Multi-Touchpoint Concept is module-based to fit the needs of
the conference attendees. While have traditional formats like keynotes, use cases and solution studies,
the concepts opens up room for deep driving discussions, networking and knowledge transfer.
