Keynotes and highlights
After a long break with no live events it was a special highlight for us this year to finally bring together our customers, partners and colleagues from our international locations and meet in person. Two intense conference days including an accompanying trade exhibition with numerous highlights are now behind us. Here is a brief glimpse of our highlights:
Keynote from Amazon Web Services on day 1
Conference day one started with a highlight: The keynote from Luke Harvey, Principal Partner Solutions Architect Automotive at Amazon Web Services, titled „Cars in Clouds – Enabling modern software development methods with large scale testing and simulation for ADAS/AV“. In his presentation he outlined the role of cloud in ADAS and AV software development, simulation and the validation as well as verification processes and exemplified the use of CarMaker in a cloud-native workflow.
NIO Europe keynote on day 2
On day two, the presentation program was completed by a closing keynote which rounded off the technology conference. The final presentation on September 21, 2022 was a video message from Hui Zhang, Vice President NIO Europe, that dealt with NIO’s aspirations to create a positive user experience and to keep customer satisfaction high at all times. It covered NIO’s innovative developments in the field of electric mobility as well as decisive USPs that help to set oneself apart from other manufacturers.
