Daniel Clarke (http://bit.ly/2BvIWdz), principal engineer for sensor fusion and sensor security for the Mentor product suite at Siemens PLM, also a Ph.D. astrophysicist. Just what does astrophysics have to do with autonomous driving? Clarke: "Astrophysics is essentially sensors on the ground looking up at the sky to understand what's above us... With autonomous cars it's very similar from a sensing perspective. There are a bunch of sensors sitting on a platform observing the environment. Astrophysics and autonomous driving have a lot in common when it comes to the underlying techniques and technologies, the mathematics, the statistics of the sensors, how you integrate the sensors together -- it's all very similar.
