Evolution of Propulsion
From Policy, through Prototype, to Production
We are witnessing accelerated innovations for alternative propulsion -
from traditional ICE to electrified and fuel cell. Panelists will discuss the
impact of new policies and net-zero emissions targets, required technology
advancements and issues deploying clean propulsion solutions at production
scale.

Software & Autonomy
Connected, Electrified, Autonomous
The age of the software-defined vehicle is upon us, but we still have much
to accomplish. Panelists will discuss the impact of connectivity, electrification
and development of L3+ autonomy on embedded systems architectures.
The focus: challenges in architecting, integrating and deploying certifiable,
reusable and updatable embedded systems for next generation connected,
electrified and autonomous vehicles.

Digitization of Product Development
Enablement of Digital Services
The convergence in advanced simulation, data activation and connectivity is
driving enhancements across the entire vehicle lifecycle. Panelists will discuss
the spectrum of technology advancements and issues enabling the digitization of vehicle design, development, manufacturing and enhanced operation.

Infrastructure & Investment
Going Beyond the Technology
The realization of clean mobility resides beyond advancements in
technology. Panelists will discuss the role of government and policy driving
transportation forward, challenges and requirements for OEM and supply
chain cooperation and the investment required to bring the vision of efficient
mobility to production-scale reality.
