Can Lidar companies diversify?

Tom Jellicoe, Consultant for Sensors & Devices at TTP plc, says that it can be useful for a lot of autonomous systems such as the use in mining vehicles, drones, and money vehicles.

What is the future of autonomous driving?

I believe the future is cybersecurity simply because it’s not been taken as seriously in the last decade.

It’s already a $5.2 billion industry right now.

The party hasn’t even started yet and we’ve already seen large acquisitions.

What do you think - is cybersecurity in the autonomous industry the next big thing?

Is there a testing procedure to generate test cases?

Roy Fridman, VP of Business Development & Sales at Foretellix says that the testing procedure used is designed with multiple testing platforms that are composed of different simulations.

“Different simulators are good for different things,” Fridman said.

Is there a reason why sensor companies become software companies?

Tom Jellicoe, Consultant for Sensors & Devices at TTP plc, gave a great answer including his analogy to headlight companies who had to adapt as LED lights came out and evolved.

What skill should a person have when breaking into the autonomous driving simulation field?

Unfortunately - it’s not as simple as stating a skill.

The answer is dependent on what type of simulation a person would want to go into.

Even then, there’s a specialization inside of that.

This was a great question posed to me.

As humans, we process so much data.

It’s hard to extrapolate that kind of data in an environment where we’re depending on a microchip to assess that data.

Especially when it comes to edge cases.

Can this even be replicated?

Roy Fridman, VP of Business Development & Sales at Foretellix, Ltd, gave his insights into how edge cases could be simulated.

Can sensors deal with unknown situations in the environment?

This is a big problem in the autonomous vehicle industry. If the situation is unknown, can it be known? In fact, humans might be more capable of handling these types of situations than a sensor.

How can we improve sensors and deal with this challenge?

Tom Jellicoe, Cambridge Ph.D. in physics and consultant for Sensors & Devices at TTP plc, says…

1. We need to record better data.

2. Understand the limitations of the data recording.

Is it more expensive to execute a recall or taking real measures when it comes to cybersecurity?

If you can put the numbers on the table, that will help you decide.

If the recall is cheaper -> companies will make the decision to recall than to take real measures.

Unfortunately, that’s how companies do business.

Is there good news?

Absolutely.

How much testing do we need when it comes to autonomous vehicles?

This dimension is enormous, Roy Fridman, VP of Business Development & Sales at Foretellix, said.

As a driver, think of the situations you and others around you encounter at every minute, along with the decisions you make during driving and how many of those are intuitive.

For autonomous vehicles, it’s a massive undertaking.

Is AV a solution to all situations or is that a realistic thought process?

-> John Krafcik, CEO of Waymo, thinks that it’s not realistic to think AV will be a solution to all situations.

-> Enthusiastic like Elon Musk believe AV can be a solution to most, if not all, situations.

Tom Jellicoe, Cambridge Ph.D. in physics and consultant for Sensors & Devices at TTP plc, gave his thoughts on the topic, specifically when it comes to the safety feature of sensors.
