Does SAE have an important role to play? Absolutely. The industry needs collaboration in many areas. SAE standards represent one form of collaboration, but there are others such as SAE technical papers and SAE EDGE Research Reports of which I've authored several. The overall goal for me as an external SAE representative is to bring Silicon Valley thinking to the traditional automotive industry. And vice versa. Embark uses " active learning " techniques to identify the most relevant detections and provide the most useful insights into critical edge cases. Certified sensors with longer sensing distances could hasten autonomousvehicle developments for on- and off-road environments. 14 October 2021 How does the Silicon Valley mindset differ from the traditional automotive industry mindset regarding automated vehicles?
