Location-Based Services SIG
Tuesday, May 27th 2008, 4:00pm - 6:00pm
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
