#ConnectedCar

FNC unites the telecom and automotive sectors at an international level to explore advances in connectivity, automated mobility, and AI in transport, sharing insights on technology, business, and standards implications at ITU and UNECE. Join us at the Future Network Car (FNC) Symposium, where the automotive and telecommunication worlds converge to discuss technology and policy frameworks for safer and smarter mobility. Hosted by AI for Good, the symposium explores the transformative potential of AI in the automotive and mobility sectors, exploring how AI is revolutionizing transportation and the cutting-edge technologies driving these advancements.

Agenda

09:00-10:30 CET, Geneva

Session 1: Regulatory framework for autonomated driving

OBJECTIVES: Stay ahead of the curve in automotive safety at Future Networked Car. Session 1 will explore the latest UNECE regulatory developments in automation and safety at WP.29/GRVA and the broader automotive regulatory community. Key highlights will include the newly adopted regulations on Automated Driving. Join industry leaders, policymakers, and technical experts as they discuss how these regulations shape safer, smarter, and more responsive vehicles for the future of mobility.

10:30-10:45 CET, Geneva

Break time

10:45-12:15 CET, Geneva

Session 2: The rise of automotive AI data infrastructure

OBJECTIVES: Vehicles are increasingly defined by connectivity and data. These two elements go hand in hand. It is connectivity that enables data to be collected and shared. It is the data – processed and interpreted – that increasingly defines the driving experience. The process of collecting and interpreting driving data is redefining the relationship between the driver and the car and between regulators and car makers. This session will focus on how connectivity and data are contributing to automated driving and a transportation revolution.

12:15-14:00 CET, Geneva

Lunch

14:00-15:30 CET, Geneva

Session 3: Validation of automated driving systems

OBJECTIVES: There is a tremendous amount of work going on regarding the validation of Automated Driving Systems (ADS). This session will bring subject matter experts from three different organizations to present their approaches and contributions to solving the challenges (technical, societal, and institutional) of determining readiness for and performing on-road testing and demonstrations, along with validating ADS for series production and deployment.

15:30-15:45 CET, Geneva

Break time

15:45-17:15 CET, Geneva

Session 4: Vehicular communication for automated driving

OBJECTIVES: Vehicles with automated driving systems (ADS) have been under development for many years. Widespread testing of vehicles with ADS has occurred and initial deployments have started. Drivers are becoming familiar with vehicle automation. The general belief is that the level of automation in vehicles is destined to grow. This session will explore how vehicular communications might be used in vehicles with ADS and what future actions are likely to be needed. This topic is being explored by the CITS Expert Group on Vehicular Communication for Automated Driving, which will provide updates on its activities.
