Day 2 at #ces2024 highlights. Valens Semiconductor introduces its VA7000, the first MIPI A-PHY serialiser/deserialiser which brings the industry a lot closer to centralised ECU architecture, but also providing a good error-free solution for sensor connectivity- pavinng the way towards autonomous driving. Garry Jacobs - President and CEO of World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS), founded by Robert Oppenheimer, Amandeed Singh Gill - United Nations Secretary General’s Envoy for Technology and Megan Myungwon Lee - Chairwoman and CEO of Panasonic North America delivered a panel on how technology impacts our society and how to foster its potential for the good of the world. Alex Mitchell - Massachusetts Institute of Technology senior Fellow and Christophe Périllat - CEO Valeo, moderated by Jason Stein delivered a panel on the sustainability of mobility sector. Lots of interesting ideas on how to enable sustainability in this area with good inisghts. Key takeaway from the panel discussion - automotive products must be designed with repairability and remanufacturing capabilities in mind. Interesting perspective. Also lots of other interesting discussions and exchanges with industry leaders. Looking forward to Day 3. Leaving here a short video video Honda’s concept electric car- the Space Hub.

Software is moving to the driver's seat, ushering in an era of software-driven #mobility. According to our recent 'Turbocharging Software with Gen AI' study, 52% of #automotive sector organizations identify the enablement of innovative work as a top benefit of #genAI. This was a central theme at the Automotive Innovation Forum, co-organized by Nikkei and Capgemini. Alexandre Audoin, Masahiko Mochizuki and Bruno Coelho discussed global trends, academic research-led innovation, and #digitaltwins at the forum. In an interview with Nikkei, Alexandre emphasized the importance of the customer's perspective in SDV development, highlighting: 1️⃣ Customer feedback and trends are pivotal in driving sales. 2️⃣ Japanese automakers excel at traditional car manufacturing, but software-defined vehicles remain challenging. 3️⃣ Some manufacturers are targeting 2025 and beyond for market launches. The forum also showcased industry-academia collaboration like our partnership with the University of Tsukuba which promotes research into the relationship between people and cars, aiming to design and implement ADAS/AD systems for a transformative future.

🤝HESAI has reached a designated cooperation agreement for mass production of LiDAR with the Chinese JVs brands of Audi, GM and Ford, three international OEMs. This partnership isn't just a nod to HESAI'S LIDAR performance, it's a clear sign of trust in the quality and capability of their products, and this initial phase of collaboration could expand to Europe in the future if Hesai meets their expectations. 🤔It's worth noting that HESAl has been planning its global strategy for a while. Back in 2023, they established an office in Stuttgart 🇩🇪 . This smart move helps them quickly respond to the European market and grow locally. Their partnerships with big international car brands for mass production show they’re ready to expand rapidly across Europe and the rest of the world. 🥸🇨🇳China is a policy-driven country. With the new initiative announced during China’s “Two Sessions,” focusing on the export of the “new trio”—namely, electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, and photovoltaic products—there has been a notable increase in exports. In 2023, new energy vehicle (NEV) exports reached 1.203 million units, marking a 77.6% year-on-year growth. 🤔Leveraging their advantages in production capacity, cost, and R&D cycles, Chinese high-tech companies and suppliers involved with these “new trio” products are aligning with their clients/OEMs’ global expansion efforts, which could pose a threat to local and European manufacturers. #China #strategy #Lidar #Tesla #BYD #MG #Hesai
