Drive World Conference Tracks
In addition to the five ESC conference tracks attendees will also have access to, Drive World offers four distinct tracks:
Security & Safety
As we approach Level 5 autonomy, the need for greater AV safety and security increases exponentially. This track delves into code and sensor vulnerabilities for both infrastructure and vehicles, and outlines ways hackers may tamper with these systems.
Sensing Technologies
This track dives into innovations in Lidar, Radar, vision, and camera systems used in autonomous vehicles. Sessions will define these emerging technologies and explore their advanced applications in an industry nearing Level 5 autonomy.
Autonomous & ADAS
Cut through the hype surrounding autonomous vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems. Explore safety and security considerations and learn the realistic timelines expected to reach full autonomy.
Connectivity & Infotainment
Take a closer look at how telematics, 5G mobility, and V2X (vehicle-to-everything) are paving the way for self-driving vehicles. Sessions will focus on infotainment system development and the security measures required for deployment.
5 Standout Sessions at the Conference
You're in good hands with a speaker list that includes experts from Google, Toyota, and SAE. Below are five must-attend sessions to add to any educational action plan.
Decomposition of an Autonomous Vehicle
Pull up a chair as we deconstruct the functional domains of an automated vehicle. We'll explore the base architecture before diving deeper into the hardware and software components that come together to create a functioning Level 2+ vehicle.

LiDAR: Can it be Effective in Adverse Weather Conditions?
LiDAR is used in autonomous vehicles to detect range and map the car's surroundings. It's ideal in dry, sunny conditions, but what happens when rain, snow, or fog sets in? This session looks at how LiDAR works and its dependability in less than perfect driving conditions.
