  Real World Application of Technologies Unlocking Safe Autonomy at Scale

  Held in conjunction with:

  

  The commercial deployment of autonomous systems has been slower and more challenging than anticipated, even in select cities with weather conditions favorable for autonomous driving. Many robotaxi programs have been scaled back, delayed, or
  canceled, while L2+ passenger vehicles remain largely confined to high-end price points.

  Yet, industry leaders are successfully building and deploying Level 3 autonomous vehicles that operate safely across diverse environments and at consumer-friendly price points.

  Join this session to engage in live discussions and demonstrations of innovative positioning technologies and system architectures that are enabling safe autonomy at scale.

  Attendees will:

  • Learn how Auto OEMs and suppliers are deploying Level 3 autonomous vehicles that operate safely across diverse environments
  • See a demonstration of positioning technologies and system architectures that are reducing the cost and complexity of HD maps and enabling advanced levels of autonomy safely and at scale
  • Learn how the cloud is being leveraged in accordance with ISO 26262 – for the first time – to accelerate safety at scale

  Experience the technology firsthand!
  Test your navigation skills by driving a vehicle through an obstacle course using only a navigation app powered by precision GNSS. No windows, no mirrors—just the groundbreaking power of high-accuracy satellite positioning.

  12th Annual Automotive Recalls Summit

  April 30 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

  Held in partnership with:

  

  In 2024, the number of vehicles affected by recall in the U.S. remained above 25 million, and the number of recall campaigns initiated was among the highest observed. Yet, the average recall size declined from 2023. Despite the relative stability in industry recalls, 2024 saw multiple recalls affecting more than 1 million vehicles. As the industry continues to innovate, new risks are emerging related to electrification, automation, and technology integration.

  The 12th Annual Automotive Recalls Summit will examine recent trends in the industry, including:

  • The latest automotive recall trends, including recall size, type, and scope.
  • What is driving the elevated recall level and the decline in recall size, and what does it mean for the future of recalls and their cost to the industry?
  • What lessons has the industry learned from the Takata recalls? Explore the past five years of airbag recalls, including a first look at recent airbag sensor and control module defects.
  • Regulatory updates related to recall communications, including past trends, future opportunities, and the exclusive results of Stout’s 2024 vehicle owner survey.
  • The latest trends in the cost of automotive warranty and recall and how the industry is responding.
  • Hear our experts discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by state DMVs related to vehicle owner data collection and recall notification.

  Owner Engagement: The Foundation to Customer Connections

  Consumer research by LexisNexis® Risk Solutions shows that most used vehicle owners who purchased from a private party or an independent dealer want to be informed about various service offerings. Interestingly, these buyers are highly likely to contact their automaker after receiving personalized communications, creating an opportunity for automakers to engage with them. After the Stout presentation, thought leaders from LexisNexis will present their findings to help you better understand the expectations of used vehicle owners, particularly regarding recalls and repair rates.
