There are still many questions surrounding the automobile of tomorrow. Should the car be completely controlled by software versus a mix of hardware and software? Should it contain one central compute box versus disparate MCUs controlling each individual subsystem? How do we design something that can’t be hacked? Are our cities ready for the deluge of EVs that are sure to hit the road within the next few years? These are all the issues that will take center stage at the 2024 Automotive Technologies Virtual Conference.

The software within a modern vehicle continues to capture more and more of the cars functionality. As you might imagine, such design criteria must advance at a very comfortable pace, as each step of the way must be carefully checked and rechecked to ensure the highest level of passenger safety. To that end, the Eclipse SDV Working Group is developing an approach to non-differentiating software development. In this Keynote Address, Sara Gallian, the SDV Program Manager at the Eclipse Foundation will address real-life use cases with Open Source Software, and what the Foundation is doing to advance this critical technology.
SDV Program Manager, Eclipse Foundation
Sara Gallian has a background in Aerospace and Electrical engineering, with a Ph.D. on numerical modeling of complex systems in the field of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. Sara started her career in automotive as a developer for ADAS functions for a major Tier 1, and from there moved on to project and line management. Sara has extensive experience working for major Tier 1 automotive companies and has spent a significant amount of her career as a developer for ADAS functions before she moved to project and line management. Sara now leads the Software Defined Vehicle Working Group on behalf of the Eclipse Foundation. In her role, Sara is now leading the major automotive open source projects for the Software Defined Vehicle Working Group alongside members such as leading global OEMs, software companies, and other global Tier 1 suppliers.

The software-defined vehicle, eyed by most as the next evolution of the automotive industry, manages its operations, adds functionality, and enables new features primarily or entirely through software. With network functions, which are being decoupled from proprietary hardware, combined with an increased used of open-source software, the software-defined vehicle is becoming a reality, rolling out in phases. The Keynote Address will look at the current state of the art and will look into the future of this critical technology.

Compared to internal combustion engines, the percentage of EVs versus continues to rise. As a result, the number of changing stations must increase, putting a significant strain on electrical grid. To combat this issue, both the chargers and the vehicles themselves must become smarter and more efficient. The station must be able to dispense the power quickly, manage the power flow, and properly charge the user. The vehicle must be able to safely accept that charge and consume the power in the most efficient way. In this session, we will look at the power electronics in both the EV and the charging station, as well as the software that ties it together.

June 20th - 12pm PT / 3pm ET
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) continue to evolve, thanks to a host of technologies, including radar, lidar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and in-cabin sensors, as well as all the software that ties everything together. To get where the automotive industry needs to be, some changes are needed to address the convergence of conflicting goals of increased reliability, reduced costs, and shorter development cycles. In this session, we will look at the convergence of various technologies, showing how to properly implement everything for a harmonious system, including the various products that are at a designer’s disposal.
