The Car Is the Next Must-Have Consumer Electronic
Cars are getting smarter. But the shift to Level 5 autonomy will take time, testing, and, most of all, the technical chops to perfect the connected car at the component level. That means sensors, 5G, systems on chip, and other foundational elements that are the heart of the autonomous vehicle.
This summer, Drive World Conference & Expo launches in Silicon Valley with North America's largest embedded systems event, Embedded Systems Conference (ESC). The inaugural three-day showcase brings together the brightest minds across the automotive electronics and embedded systems industries who are looking to shape the technology of tomorrow.
Will you be there to help engineer this shift?

A Cross-Disciplined Approach to Learning
Immerse yourself in the expanding vehicle electronics market and build upon foundational embedded systems education at our two-in-one conference program. Designed to be complementary, attendees are encouraged to access all nine conference tracks from both Drive World and the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC).
From foundational to applicational, topics and areas of coverage include:
- 5G mobility
- Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)
- Autonomous
- Artificial intelligence
- Connectivity & infotainment
- Embedded systems hardware & software design
- Embedded vision systems
- LiDAR & radar
- Propulsion
- Security & safety
- Vehicle-to-everything (V2X)
- Software security
- Sensing technologies
Not Your Everyday Expo
The expo hall is where the action is. Meet suppliers spanning automotive electronics and embedded systems and make connections with other driven professionals at free sessions and networking activities. Be sure you also take the time to:
- Go for a spin in an L3 automated vehicle in the Autonomous Zone.
- Schedule 1:1 time with world-renowned engineers at the Knowledge Bar.
- Attend keynotes presented by visionaries from SAE, Johns Hopkins, and Kitty Hawk.
- Wind down your Wednesday at a Networking Happy Hour from 4 – 5 p.m.
Who Should Attend
Drive World is a must-attend event for electrical and mechanical engineers looking to grow in the automotive intelligence and advanced mobility industries. Combined with ESC, which celebrates 30 years in 2019, the two-in-one event will provide attendees with industry-critical education in the heart of electronics innovation — Silicon Valley.
