WCA LBS SIG presents: How LBS is Enabling Auto-Based Exploration
Venue: Palo Alto Research Center, Palo Alto CA
We are accustomed to using our cars to explore the world around us. As LBS matures and new applications emerge, how are these two technologies converging and reinforcing each other? We are taking a look at what is here now, what is near, and what is farther down the road. Join us in a discussion including perspectives from ground-breaking research in automated driving, dynamic traffic and routing, and established industry.
-- Invited speakers for this event include General Motors R&D, Daimler R&D, University of California, and others!
Cost: $10 at the door
