Keynote 1: Challenges of Automated and Connected Driving
Thomas Form
Head of Electronics and Vehicle Research at Volkswagen AG, Germany
Summary: In recent years, various publications and presentations from a lot of companies have shown the improvements in the sector of automated driving. The vehicle- and mobility-concept SEDRIC is a current example from the Volkswagen AG. However, for a release of these technologies there are several unresolved issues regarding sensor technologies,redundancies as well as verification and validation questions. Regarding sensors, the main objectives are miniaturization and reduction of system costs. Advantages and disadvantages of existing solutions have to be evaluated. In addition to economic aspects ensuring the redundancy of the system is absolute necessary. Is, for example, Artificial Intelligence able to provide an independent second or third function path? Regarding verification and validation concepts, current discussions are focused on which scenarios have to be tested and how, in order to enable regulatory authorities to approve the release of automated driving functions? It is conceivable, that this is an automotive industry wide task that can only be solved in cooperation with all stakeholders.
Biography: Born in 1959, Thomas Form studied Electrical Engineering at the University of Braunschweig, Germany, joined the Institute for Communication Engineering as research fellow in 1987 and received his Ph.D. in 1992. Up to 2002 he worked as a senior engineer in the Centre for Electromagnetic Compatibility of Volkswagen AG. In 2002 Dr. Form was appointed as the head of Telephone-/Telematics and Antenna systems development. He became a professor for "Electronic Vehicle Systems" in the Institute of Control Engineering at the Technical University Braunschweig in 2005 and participated with the CAROLO-Team in the finals of the DARPA URBAN Challenge 2007. From 2007 to 2009 he was responsible for concept development, module- and project management in the VW Electric/Electronic development. In 2009 he was appointed as head of the "Electronics and Vehicle Research" within Volkswagen Group research. Major achievements were the presentation of AUDI "Jack" vehicle driving in L3 automatic mode with Journalists from San Francisco to CES 2015 in Las Vegas and the presentation of the autonomous driving pod "SEDRIC" in 2017. Since 2016 he is the coordinator of the German national funded project PEGASUS which wants to answer the question "L3 Highway Chauffeur - how safe is safe enough and how to prove it". He got the Uni-DAS e.V. ADAS Award for significant influence on the development and introduction of driver assistance systems in 2017.
Keynote 2: AUTOSAR Adaptive - Challenging the Impossible
Masaki Gondo
CTO at eSOL Co. Ltd., JP
Summary: The vast researches related to autonomous driving seem steadily progressing - it no longer makes news to just have some research vehicle drive autonomously. However, bringing this technology to the market, with all the associated legal, societal, and ethical responsibilities, with justifiable cost efficiency, is hard at its best, and impossible at its worst. Furthermore, the automotive industry is facing drastic challenges in electric vehicles, connected services, which also heavily impact the whole vehicle architecture. AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) is a worldwide development partnership of automotive interested parties. One of its latest challenges is to develop the software platform specification for the highly automated and autonomous driving, named AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform. This talk gives an overview of the challenges of such a platform, followed by the solution approach of AUTOSAR reflecting the industrial needs, and the overall architecture of AUTOSAR Adaptive. It also introduces a new multi-kernel OS technology the author develops, describing why such OS architecture is essential for coping with the challenge in the long run.
Biography: Masaki is CTO at eSOL, the company that provides POSIX/AUTOSAR/TRON RTOS, various software development tools, and various engineering services. Graduated from the State University of New York, Masaki has more than 20 years of experience in the field of OS architecture and related technologies for use in wide range of embedded system applications including automotive, industrial, and electronic appliances. He has authored/co-authored multiple popular Japanese books/international articles on OS and embedded systems, and given technical talks in conferences worldwide. While serving as a CTO directing the technology strategy and architecture at eSOL, he acts as one of the architects in Task Force Architecture of Adaptive Platform. His interest in recent years spans from next-generation OS/platform architectures, parallel processing, adaptive systems including machine learning, as well as scrum/kanban based development.
