The journey toward autonomous driving has been marked by fluctuating expectations, yet 2025 signals a resurgence of optimism – fueled by breakthroughs in AI and sensing technologies. As the industry navigates this evolving landscape, a clear vision centered on safety, free time, and asset utilization is essential to unlocking autonomy’s full potential. Realizing this vision requires a multi-faceted approach: high-resolution, multi-modal sensing (leveraging LiDAR, radar, and advanced perception technologies) and next-generation AI models (including GenAI and large-scale simulations) to extend ODDs and enable SDVs. However, autonomy is not a one-size-fits-all solution – regional priorities vary significantly, with the US and China emphasizing broad ODD coverage and customer experience, while Europe remains focused on safety. A globally adaptive strategy is key to ensuring market-specific success. By combining state-of-the-art technology with regionally tailored deployment strategies, the industry is closer than ever to making autonomous driving a safe, scalable, and globally viable reality.

In this session, you will learn:

  • How multi-modal perception and GenAI-powered simulation are expanding ODDs and enhancing vehicle intelligence
  • Why autonomy strategies must be adapted to distinct regulatory and market priorities across the US, China, and Europe
  • How AI-driven architectures are reshaping autonomous mobility and accelerating real-world deployment
