Presentation Title: Mechatronics and Automated Driving – What next? 

Abstract

There are plentiful opportunities arising from automated driving technologies – societal benefits such as improved accessibility, inclusivity, safety and efficiency, as well as economic impact for the organisations developing the new products and services.

However, research is still required. This talk will discuss the current landscape for mechatronics, as well as the many other complementary disciplines required to fully deliver on all of the promise of this multidisciplinary topic. In particular, it will focus on some of WMG’s current collaborative research on safe autonomy.
