About the Webinar:

Autonomous driving refers to self-driving vehicles or transport systems that move without the intervention of a human driver. The levels for autonomous driving range from Level 0 (no automation) up to Level 5 (full vehicle autonomy). However, a human approach to autonomy is critical for autonomous driving to make a meaningful difference to the passengers and the society. Engineers and designers should know what it means to humanise autonomous driving, and how it can create positive attitudes toward autonomous mobility and increase the adoption of autonomous vehicles.

Topics For Discussion:

• Autonomous driving and robotics
• Modelling human behaviour
• Essential skills in designing autonomous vehicles
