huge for leaders in the trifecta of Mobility,
Autonomy, and Electrification."
Waraniak added: "We are witnessing one
of the most fundamental shifts in the history
of the automotive industry. New vehicle
technologies from ADAS to autonomy, as
well as additive manufacturing processes
and generative design-combined with
demographic, regulatory, social and
environmental pressures-are driving the
shift to Automotive 4.0, Cars and trucks will
grow smarter and cooler with connected
vehicle systems, high-efficiency engines,
vehicle electrification, increased
personalization, and advanced safety
performance. Generative design allows you
to explore a wider range of design options.
In the time you can create one idea, a
computer can generate thousands, along
with the math data, to determine which
designs perform best."
Asked what he hopes to accomplish in
the session, Waraniak responded:
"connected, automated, and electric
vehicles must connect with consumer
lifestyles and experiences."
