What the Hack?! How to Make Autonomous Trucks Safe
Description:
Autonomous trucks are no longer a distant dream. They are becoming the largest economically viable opportunity for the technology. Before autonomous trucks move beyond demonstration into real-world operation, two large hurdles remain - Functional Safety and Cyber Security.
As Director of Autonomous Engineering at Daimler Truck North America, Suman Narayanan will talk about safety and why we are engineering not just for how the truck will react but also through every foundational decision point the truck makes along its journey. Beyond this complex and unprecedented challenge, we also face the need for stringent security measures to protect autonomous trucks from potential threats, such as those presented by hackers.
