The Report, collaboratively written by experts from across the automotive field, describes the current state-of-the-art of self-driving technology. Ultimately, the report found that important innovation is happening on all levels, and that specifically better software and reduced costs are key elements towards affordable autonomous vehicles capable of driving in all circumstances.
Initiated by Wevolver after noticing a surge of interest in the topic, the report was written by and for the engineering community to create the first comprehensive understanding of the current cutting edge in the field.
Autonomous vehicle technology covers many areas. This required a uniquely collaborative approach to the report's writing, reflective of complex and diverse nature of the field: A call out in the Wevolver community yielded an initial core group of writers that created a rough draft. Afterwards, the manuscript went through dozens of iterations and feedback sessions by experts and members of the engineering community.
These experts reflect a wide range of voices: From Maxime Flament, Chief Technology Officer, 5G Automotive Association, to Mark A. Crawford Jr, Chief Engineer for Autonomous Driving Systems at Great Wall Motor Co, they represent 11 countries, and bring together the views of startups, large enterprises, non-profits, and academic research labs.
Initially aimed at 3500 words, covering the topic completely turned out to require the final report containing over 16,000+ words of content, formatted into a freely downloadable PDF by the award winning book designers from Bureau Merkwaardig.
It's available for engineers who need to deepen their knowledge, for leaders who want to grasp the technological challenges and breakthroughs, and for all who are interested in learning how many fascinating technologies come together to create the mobility innovations that change our future.
The writing of the report was financially supported by Nexperia, a global semiconductor manufacturer with over 11,000 employees, headquartered in the Netherlands. Nexperia produces over 90 Billion units per year and virtually every electronic design in the world uses their parts.
