Topics

The conference will provide a forum for discussing questions of technological sovereignty at European level and the potential for international cooperation. The keynotes that will be held in English in the morning will inspire the further development of the automotive industry over the next decade. In the afternoon, research projects funded under the "Mannheim" programme as well as other funded projects will present themselves in German and discuss the synergies of research for digital automobility.

The talks will cover such topics as software innovations, real-time capable data processing with microchips using methods of artificial intelligence, edge computing for decentralized data processing and intelligent networking of vehicles, high-precision sensors for radar and lidar applications as well as electronics for modern electrical/electronic vehicle architectures.
