SAE Update - October 2020 - 8

COVER STORY

View from the SAE Corner Office

out Venkatesh was built for change.
"In the nearly two years I have been in
this role, I have had the privilege of
observing-and at times, participating in-
the dynamism and evolution of the mobility
industry from a unique vantage point that
SAE provides," he said. "The broad mobility
industry is marching toward a bright future,
enabled by game-changing technologies
and a clear mission towards progressing
society and all the participants in it. I
expected this evolution and welcome it in
many ways. What I did not expect were the
second-order effects-some of which can
be attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic-
influencing what mobility means to the
world during these times. This has allowed
me to broaden my own horizons on how
impactful SAE can be in aspiring for a

central role in the future of mobility."
Asked about the extent to which SAE
leads change in addition to responding to
it, Venkatesh said: "SAE is at the forefront
of the evolution of mobility in many
ways. We are an organization committed to
bringing the mobility community
together. SAE sets world-class standards
that define, shape, and influence every
promising technology in the mobility
space. SAE has not only responded to the
changes, but has been a steady hand in
guiding the evolution to ensure that the
broader mobility industry and society are
progressing concomitantly and safely in
realizing the immense potential of what
mobility can deliver to the world."
"I am proud of the wide range of
accomplishments that
SAE's dedicated staff have
been able to deliver in the
SAE J3016 LEVELS OF DRIVING AUTOMATION

continued. "Some major
