Keynote Speech – abstract
Over the last decade, we received several promises that the autonomous vehicles were around the corner, but we are still waiting. In this presentation, Prof. Fernando Garcia, head of the Autonomous Mobility and Perception Lab (AMPL), from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, will review the current situation of autonomous vehicles and the challenges that lie ahead. He will present the solutions proposed by AMPL in this regard, and what is to come, based on the different collaborations with automotive actors.
