Solving the Data Challenge for Autonomous Driving (Online Talk by b-plus, Incenda AI, IBM, Lenovo)

About this Event

Today’s major developments in the mobility sector contribute to one common vision: Seamless transportation in autonomous vehicles on interconnected road networks. One of the core technologies in this visionary mobility concept is – obviously – the autonomous vehicle, which is capable of sensing its environment and moving safely with little or no human input.
Therefore, it is necessary to train the car with real environment data, which needs to be collected, transferred, pre-processed and stored beforehand. This process requires a complex chain of technologies from different providers.
The NTT Technology Experience Lab have brought together several highly experienced technology partners to build up a holistic solution, the “Data Garage”:

b-plus: Automotive Technology Solutions
IBM: Automotive Data Storage
Incenda AI: AI Quality Assurance
Lenovo: Automotive IT Hardware
NTT Global Data Centers: Data Centers for Automotive IT

This webcast answers the question on how autonomous vehicle training data can be recorded, pre-processed, stored and uploaded into the cloud.

Alexander Noack, Head of Automotive Electronics, b-plus

ASTRA GLOBAL ONE-TO-ONE TALK with Oleg Dmitriev
2020-05-21 18:00 - 19:00 (Europe/Zurich)
Astra Global in cooperation with SwissFinTechLadies presents a series of talks by entrepreneurs to entrepreneurs (ONE-TO-ONE TALK), where they share their experiences and can learn from each other. ONE-TO-ONE TALK to Oleg Dmitriev. WHY YOU DON’T WANT TO RAISE EQUITY. Oleg is a serial entrepreneur with practical knowledge of seed funding and taking the company through the “valley of death”, having raised over £3m of equity funding and over £0.5m of grant funding. Awards: Made in Scotland 2018, winner; Innovator of the Year 2018, One of Top 100 Figures in UK Manufacturing 2017, Red Herring Top-100 Europe, Inventor of the Year 2017, Best Venture-backed Management Team 2017 in Scotland. Oleg has graduated from EMBAG Columbia and LBS. About this event. Many entrepreneurs see equity funding as the only way after a minimum viable product is developed. In this talk, we discuss why equity funding is a bad idea for early-stage startup? How equity funding should be one of an equal set of other funding options. Why it’s important to start generating cash flow before you start raising your first round. And when it’s the right moment to start raising not to lose control over your company.
