Dave Lauzun, Siemens PLM vice president of automotive transportation, unpacks the details of the engineering, from prototypes to eventual mass market autonomous vehicles. Dave was born and raised in Michigan and comes from a GM family. In fact, his family were big contributors to the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum in Lansing. He's lived the past and present of the auto industry from the time he was a kid. He's now working on the future of transportation, including self-driving cars and mobility services. Talking about the engineering problems to get to this future is what he does. About three quarters of Dave's career was in design. He's been in exterior design, interior design, chassis design. The rest of his career has been a mixture of manufacturing in assembly plants and stamping plants, and program management and vehicle development. Dave spent the first quarter-century of his career at Chrysler during Lee Iacocca's tenure and shares stories about that, too.
