AutoSens Brussels 2023 marked the end of an era as a new chapter unfolds for the world's leading exhibition on ADAS and autonomous vehicle technology development. The AutoSens and InCabin conferences will co-locate in 2024, first in Detroit in May 2024 and then in Barcelona in October 2024. "For many AutoSens and InCabin attendees, the Autoworld Museum has become an undeniably special and memorable place, myself included," said AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony. "However, excitement is in the air as we set our sights on Barcelona and the strong automotive community there in 2024." 

From the exhibition floor at the Autoworld Museum, Carl talks with Rob Stead, Managing Director of Sense Media, the organizers of the AutoSens and InCabin conferences. Rob recalls the early days of AutoSens, some of the most significant trends in ADAS over the years, and what he is most proud of as the conference enters a new era.

The effectiveness of "the future of mobility" depends on standardization to some degree. Consumer and commercial adoption of something like electrification is more likely if crucial elements, like the charging network, have an element of universality. PIONIX, a German company with an open-source software stack, aims to establish de-facto standards for a unified EV charging ecosystem.

Dr. Marco Möller, Managing Director and co-founder of PIONIX, joins Carl for this episode of AutoVision News Radio. Dr. Möller explains how experiences from the drone industry have helped PIONIX refine its mission as "the Android for chargers."

Unlike humans, autonomous vehicles cannot see, think, or act for themselves. Instead, they rely on high-definition maps to supply a pre-encoded context about the environment. Machines cannot improvise and adapt as quickly as humans or other biological systems, so safety concerns arise if a vehicle suddenly encounters an unplanned obstruction or outdated map information. That said, can we increase a car's reliance on real-time scene construction and reduce its dependency on prior maps and localization? If so, how might we go about it?   

To help us understand this further, we sat down with Sravan Puttagunta, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperspec AI. In this episode, we look at how autonomous vehicles can access more of the road network, why it's essential to consider what evolutionary biology has to say, and how to solve the challenges we encounter via a "first principles" approach.

The average price paid for a new vehicle in the United States reached its highest in June 2022, according to Kelley Blue Book. Average transaction prices surpassed $48,000 for new vehicles, beating the previous high of $47,202 set in December 2021. The rising transaction prices also impacted hybrid and EV buyers.

Carl Anthony, Managing Editor of Automoblog and AutoVision News, examines the key data points and findings from Kelley Blue Book. He looks at things through an experiential marketing and economics lens, wondering if this will hurt how consumers view ADAS and if automakers run the risk of trying to over-monetize software-defined architectures. "On one hand, as someone who works in automotive, the data is fascinating as data like this often is," Anthony said. "However, as a consumer who sticks to a budget, it's a bit concerning, as we have been watching the average transaction price for new cars reach historic highs again and again since at least 2018."

Join AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony as he talks one-on-one with the industry professionals ushering in one of the most significant eras in automotive history. 

Since 2018, there has been $160 billion in investment dollars linked to electric vehicles in North America, based on data from the Center for Automotive Research (2024 CAR Book of Deals). For EVs to reach their full potential, consumers must have complete faith and confidence in the charging infrastructure. Like how consumers think nothing of a gas pump when they pull up, building that same level of trust with charging stations is imperative.   

Elaina Farnsworth, co-founder and CEO of SkillFusion, joins Carl to discuss a significant (and perhaps overlooked) opportunity for skilled trade professionals as more EVs populate our roadways. Elaina and her team at SkillFusion are building the talent pipeline of certified electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) workers through its EVSE Diagnostic Technician (EDT) Program. This robust talent pool will ultimately ensure charging stations across the United States are operational and reliable, increasing consumer confidence in EVs. 

Elaina shares more insight into the EDT program, how she and her fellow co-founder saw a unique need, and why "playing with computers" has always served her well.

Raising speed limits on highways could lead to more crashes on nearby roads, according to research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. This "Spillover Effect" creates unintended safety hazards for local communities that might not be involved in the decision-making process to raise the posted speed limit on a nearby highway. 

Dr. William J. Horrey, Technical Director for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, joins Carl for this episode of AutoVision News Radio. Dr. Horrey shares the Foundation's research on Spillover Effects, including how "Hot Spot" analyses can provide new insights for road safety. Meanwhile, Carl takes us back to rural Iowa and imagines how Spillover Effects might impact his former home.

Consumer trust is one of the most significant pieces of the ADAS puzzle. Although the value of consumer trust with regard to ADAS is well acknowledged, it's no less important, especially as technologies like DMS enter the picture. 

What is the link between consumer trust and the fully optimized synchronization of ADAS and DMS? When the external and internal sensors are on the same page, communicating in tandem with the intent to keep vehicle occupants safe, what would that do for consumer trust?

Seeing Machines has been tackling these and other complex questions for over two decades, driven by an internal purpose of getting everyone home safe. CEO Paul McGlone joins Carl to discuss the relationship between ADAS and DMS, why consumer trust is essential, and how the company continues to rally around its founding principles of safety.

While consumers may not understand all the jargon, quirks, and idiosyncrasies of the automotive industry, their interests are piqued once they have a basic definition of a connected car and its potential benefits. However, that interest only extends so far, as consumers view certain connected car features and capabilities as more valuable than others.  

This realization is among the key findings in a body of research from Salesforce in partnership with YouGov, released in January 2024, that surveyed nearly 2,200 U.S. drivers aged 18 and over.

In this solo episode, AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony summarizes the findings of this Salesforce study on connected cars and shares key insights from the survey on which features consumers will either pay more money or trade their personal data for.

Daily traffic volumes have rebounded from pandemic lows in 2020, but perhaps not surprisingly, traffic and pedestrian fatalities have risen in tandem. Maybe also not surprisingly, unsafe driving behaviors like speeding, texting, and operating under the influence continue to impact these statistics. Among the questions are why people engage in risky behaviors behind the wheel and what countermeasures can be implemented to prevent such behavior.   

These questions are at the core of the latest Traffic Safety Culture Index (TSCI) survey from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, released in December 2023. The latest TSCI survey identified six driver profiles and examined the social approval and/or disapproval of certain unsafe driving habits.  

Dr. Rebecca Steinbach, Senior Researcher for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, joins Carl to provide additional insight into the findings of the latest TSCI survey. Dr. Steinbach explains the six driver profiles, how perceptions towards speeding have changed, and the little things we can do to become safer drivers.
