Technologies Transforming the Auto Industry and Driving Development of Next-Gen Vehicles
Executive Fireside Chat with Nakul Duggal (SVP & GM, Automotive, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.) and Patrick Moorhead (Founder, President and Principal Analyst of Moor Insights & Strategy) New technologies, such as 4G and 5G connectivity, have caused mass disruption in the automotive industry. Coupled with user demands, such as virtually always-connected digital cabins for infotainment, real-time navigation and entertainment, as well as new business models like shared ownership, robo-taxis and autonomous vehicles, the automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation. Qualcomm Technologies is helping automakers and suppliers adapt to today’s new environment and bring modern vehicles to market through its robust suite of interconnected technology solutions. Join Patrick Moorhead, Founder, President and Principal Analyst of Moor Insights & Strategy, as he discusses these trends with Nakul Duggal, SVP & GM, Automotive, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and the future of the automotive industry and how automakers, suppliers and OEMs can best adapt to these changing market dynamics. |
Track 1 Panels: 9:00 – 9:45 |
5G Telematics: How 5G Connectivity Is Expected to Advance Us Into the Next Generation of Mobility Moderator: Sheri Willey (Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.) From a technology perspective, 5G should bring many new capabilities to the connected car, providing scalable connectivity to support a variation of automotive requirements. These capabilities include extreme broadband, ultra-low latency, enhancements to infrastructure and pedestrian safety, and more. The development of 5G infrastructure and the FCC’s support for using portions of the 5.9 GHz spectrum for C-V2X technology is accelerating the proliferation of connected car technology that reduces fatalities. By 2035, 5G is expected to enable over $2.4 trillion in economic output across the broader automotive sector -- almost 20% of the projected global impact of 5G. (Source: IHS Markit Report, 2019). Listen in on leaders and influencers from the automotive ecosystem as they discuss how 5G is ‘mission critical’ to the industry and how it can transform this domain segment with its support of expanded connectivity needed to support new services and user experiences, as well as help address challenges in transportation and safety. |
9:45 – 11:00 am PT |
In-Vehicle Infotainment: Future of the Cockpit Moderator: Sam Abuelsamid (Guidehouse Insights) The technology revolution in computing and connectivity is driving an unprecedented amount of innovation in the automotive industry. We are seeing new and highly advanced technologies not only playing a major role in the car of the future, but in also creating robust and premium in-vehicle experiences consumers now expect. These advanced technologies will continue to be at the core of the automotive industry’s future, powering key trends that are shaping the future of the digital cockpit, including contextual safety and smarter navigation, as well as rich visual and highly intuitive and personalized experiences through the support of Artificial Intelligence, which also supports predictive active and passive safety systems, and automated technologies helping to advance the levels of autonomy. Join us as we discuss the importance of these technologies and how our ecosystem stays ahead of these trends, as well as the increasing interdependence of technology leaders and automakers. |
11:00- 11:45 am PT |
Software Defined Car Moderator: Bill Pinnell (Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.) Leaders within the Automotive Software ecosystem will be discussing the development of software platform solutions that cater to multiple tiers of vehicle that use connectivity to ensure continued user engagement through the lifetime of the vehicle and how applications will evolve that use state of the art artificial intelligence and machine learning features to further enrich the user experience. |
Track 2 Panels: 9:00 – 10:00 am PT |
ADAS to Autonomous Driving: Addressing Complexity and Scalability Moderator: Pete Bigelow (Automotive News) The increase of complexity of development for ADAS and autonomous driving solutions are rapidly occurring as systems scale up from basic active-safety functions, and where more technology innovation is needed to make better systems. This is causing stakeholders to change their approach to meet the new reality. Through the development of the Snapdragon Ride platform, Qualcomm Technologies has proven the ability to unlock scalability for the industry that can provide equal access to safe and more comfortable driving experiences to any vehicle across any segment. Join us as we discuss the potential of scalable autonomous mobility and the impact this level of democratization would have for key automotive players and consumers alike. |
10:00 – 10:45 am PT |
Acceleration of Automotive Technologies in China Moderator: Kevin Li (Strategy Analytics) China has nearly one in four of all of the vehicles sold in the world today. While China’s automotive market is now maturing following an extraordinary period of growth in car sales, the future holds manufacturing possibilities like nowhere else in the world. China’s focus on disruptive technologies such as autonomous, intelligent connected and alternative fuel vehicles means there is real potential for it to lead the transformation of the global automotive market. Join us as we discuss China’s automotive sector today, and the opportunities for international partners, changing retail models, innovation acceleration, etc. |
