SUMMARY:Autonomous Vehicle Technology: What’s Next?
DESCRIPTION:YPN Lunch and Learn: Autonomous Vehicle Technology: What’s Next?\nThe future of autonomous driving is still to be determined\, but here is what we know: Autonomous driving is both a visionary goal and a highly achievable feat of technical engineering. The race to launching the industry’s first fully autonomous vehicle is accelerating\, as technology and ride sharing companies overcome technical challenges and enable an entirely new way of driving that will surprise and delight users. \nAutonomous vehicle technology is constantly evolving and many products offer unique solutions to the same problem. What does this mean for AV adoption? Will there be a clear-cut technology\nwinner? \nJoin the SAA’s Young Professionals Network for a Lunch and Learn as we will be joined by autonomous driving specialist Daniel Bartz\, who will discuss these questions and much more. \nDaniel Bartz has been working in the areas of vehicle automation and robotics for 20 years in the auto\, defense and startup communities. He received a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering from Kettering University and Master’s Degree in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon in 2006. He participated in the 2005 and 2007 DARPA Challenges. Daniel recently served as Chairperson for the SAE On-Road Automated Vehicle committee and current Chairs the SAE ORAV Automated Driving Reference Architecture task force. \n  \nThe event is FREE for YPN and SAA members\n$10 for non-members\nSave the $10 by either joining the YPN or simply share the event on social media!

SUMMARY:Webinar: Will the First Autonomous Vehicles Deliver Packages\, Not People?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: Will the First Autonomous Vehicles Deliver Packages\, Not People?\nFeaturing Colin Langan \nColin will discuss his new study of autonomous vehicle delivery\, which will be released in conjunction with the webinar. While most autonomous vehicle (AV) startups have focused on rideshare\, Colin believes the autonomous delivery opportunity is more compelling given lower technology hurdles and better economics. He will review why removing the human passenger will enable the technology to reach the market faster. His study highlights the delivery market is already substantial\, accounting for close to 1 trillion miles today. More importantly\, AV delivery economics are significantly better than AV rideshare. Despite industry hype\, getting the cost of AV rideshare below personal car ownership is surprisingly difficult. \nFollowing Colin’s presentation there will be plenty of time for Q&A. A copy of the study will be provided to all attendees. \nColin Langan is an experienced automotive equity research analyst and has been a Society of Automotive Analyst board member since 2017. He was ranked by Institutional Investor All-American Research survey in Autos & Auto Parts in 2017\, 2018 and 2019. He authored reports and hosted expert-led conferences\, including What is the Future of Mobility? on the key disruptive automotive themes of autonomous cars\, ride-sharing\, and electric vehicles to help investors gain conviction in investment ideas. He cultivated an extensive automotive industry network to help identify industry risks and themes early. Earlier in his career\, he was a Senior Associate at Deloitte. He holds an MBA in Finance from Columbia Business School and a BBA in Accounting from the University of Notre Dame. He is also a CFA charterholder and a certified public accountant. \n
