New academic appointment: teaching and researching AI in corporate operations

Posted on September 25, 2024November 26, 2024 by SiliconValleyMobility

I am excited to announce my new academic appointment (in addition to my now 15-year long assignment at the Stanford Business School):

Thanks very much to my colleagues at the University of Borås for welcoming me to their school and giving me the opportunity to apply my experience to artificial intelligence and small and medium-sized enterprises. In my teaching and research there, I am looking at how product development can benefit from AI, with a particular focus on SMEs.

And to those of you wondering whether I am abandoning my long-term passion for automotive & mobility topics: Not at all!!! This assignment in Borås is a great opportunity to apply my industry background to teaching and research in a field where so much is happening at the moment. As I strive to keep up with the trends in industry, here it is about SMEs, the backbone of the economy, including the automotive field.

Unsettled Issues in Determining Appropriate Modeling Fidelity for Automated Driving Systems Simulation

Posted on March 18, 2020March 18, 2020 by SiliconValleyMobility

Here’s the other SAE International EDGE Research Report that we published already some months ago: “Unsettled Issues in Determining Appropriate Modeling Fidelity for Automated Driving Systems Simulation”

It discusses the challenges of achieving optimal model fidelity for developing, validating, and verifying automated vehicles. The primary questions raised are:

How to make sure that simulation models represent their real-world counterparts
How to define a universal simulation model interface
How to determine the different requirements for sensor, vehicle, environment, and human driver models

Thanks to the team for your great contributions!

Unsettled Issues in Balancing Virtual, Closed-Course, and Public-Road Testing of Automated Driving Systems

Posted on February 20, 2020March 18, 2020 by SiliconValleyMobility

Great to have two new SAE EDGE Research Reports out there! The first report discusses three main issues:

Determining what kind of testing an ADS needs before it is ready to go on the road.
The current, optimal, and realistic balance of simulation testing and real-world testing.
The challenges of sharing data in the industry.

We have been discussing a lot how to develop > test > certify autonomous vehicles and always get to the point of simulation vs. road testing. So we went deeper into this to at least agree on the “right” questions.

Thanks to the team for a great collaboration!
