LIVE roundtable on design, ethics, and security challenges in autonomous car design

LIVE roundtable talk on autonomous car, Sep 21.

Quite possibly one of the most complicated and challenging engineering tasks, the development of the autonomous vehicle is expected to change the way humans and machines interact with each other. Since the car will effectively be a connected system, it’s also liable to the same security risks as a network or a mobile tablet.

A variety of technologies -- system-design tools, simulation software, machine learning, computer vision, sensors, to name but a few -- converge in the development of the self-driving car. In fact, the self-driving car's predecessor, the connected car, has been on the road for quite some time. Are there lessons to learn from its performance?

To discuss these, DE invites two panelists:

• Joe Barkai, industry analyst, author, public speaker
• Simon Hartley, VP Business Development, RunSafe Security

TIME: 2:00 pm ET/ 11:00 am PT
