Transportation Revolution: Autonomous Vehicle Development - Part 1

The Future Car: A Siemens Podcast

The idea of autonomous vehicles has long been seen as something futuristic. But as we get closer and closer to the development of that technology, we’re realizing that actually deploying it is an equally complex set of challenges.

Today, we’re circling back to Nand Kochhar, the Vice President of Automotive and Transportation Industry here at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He’ll give us an overview of the particular challenges to deploying this level of technology, and the complexity of the systems needed to get to that point.

In this episode, we’ll talk about the specific regulations that exist and those that need to be considered, along with the policy partnerships required to create them. We’ll also hear about the important role digitalization plays for companies weaving together the various disciplines involved in autonomous vehicle development.
