About Speaker

I have been the Director for Cloud & Software Strategy at Aptiv since August 2021. From a young age, I have been obsessed with technology especially machine learning (ML), leading up to a PhD on the topic from the Leibniz University of Hannover. I bring that experience to develop AD/ADAS solutions. In the automotive industry today, the focus for most companies is on creating a consolidated data structure – getting their cloud strategy and data management right. Once those steps are taken, we can start applying ML to improve efficiency and save costs. But the technology has a lot more visionary potential. It will improve road safety and make transport systems more efficient. By integrating with smart infrastructure, ML will help us create better urban environments. These ‘big picture’ possibilities fascinate me – and I am excited every day about working with people to make them a reality. I have published more than 20 studies on human action recognition and object tracking, and I am a regular speaker at events and conferences. I am always keen to speak to leaders in the ML and automotive space, so feel free to send me a connection request if you’d like to talk.

Dr.-Ing. Juergen Dickmann is head of Radar sensors and radar based perception at highly automated driving, DAIMLER AG. In this role he is responsible for all radar projects for the 6th generation of ADAS systems at Mercedes-Benz AG and radar based perception in the cooperation with Nvidia. In his last position, he was in charge of radar and radar perception in the autonomous driving cooperation between Mercedes-Benz AG and Robert Bosch. Before that, he managed the technology transfer process from pre-development into series of all perception sensing (Radar, Laser, Video) and localization technologies for S-Class model BR222. Among others, he held manager positions at DAIMER in Laser-Scanner, Sensor-Fusion and Situation Analysis. He conducted radar research and pre-developments for radar based Pre-Crash and driver assistant systems for all platforms (Passenger cars, Busses, Van, Truck) inside DAIMLER AG. The research achievements of his group can be found in: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Juergen_Dickmann. He received his Diploma degree in electrical engineering from University Duisburg, Germany, in 1984. In 1991 he achieved the Dr.-Ing. degree at Rheinisch Westfaelische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH), Germany. In 1986 he started his career at AEG Research Center, where he did research on III/V-semiconductor processing techniques, mm-Wave device and MMIC-design (up to 120GHz) and fabrication. Key-Note on “Future demands in automotive Radar” Takeaways: Everybody speaks about vision and lidar systems, but Radar is an indispensable key technology for highly automated and autonomous ADAs HW-SW Co-Design is essential to come to the next level High Performance radar versus smart radar networks – some thoughts Radar perception can benefit performance, if it is not treated like a lidar or camera Massive AI is entering the Radar-Perception arena. Abstract: Over decades automotive driver assistance systems have developed from simple park assistance and ACC to highly complex L3 functions. Among other issues, that has been driven by the dramatic development of radar sensor technology and radar based perception. Radar can see, where other sensors can´t. Due to their performance to be packaged nearly invisible, modern cars can still appear as design artwork icons, like the present EQ-S. With the development towards higher automatisation the total perception system has to provide much more comprehensive and precise information to the path planning and behavior stages in order to allow proper operation. Based on our experience with the “Bertha Drive” as quasi autonomous vehicle, we got inside what is needed in the future. One outcome was, the sensor technology in cooperation with perception algo-concepts have to develop along other lines as compared to simple L2 systems. The key note will line out from a radar point of view what has been achieved so far and what will be needed in the future.

Daniel Darancou is best known for being the creative force behind the QIANTU MOTOR Electric Vehicle brand of exquisitely designed automotive mobility solutions. His depth of experience and creative passion began in Los Angeles, California where he was born. The dynamic culture and trend capital of the world has provided the inspiration and foundation to become an award winning globally recognized industrial designer. Upon graduating from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, Daniel was invited to begin his initiation to the world of international design by joining the I.DE.A Institute in Torino, Italy. His mentor and friend Mr. Walter di Silva of Volkswagen fame pushed him to develop his creative passion on projects for Lancia and FIAT. Next came the strong pull from General Motors Corporation to regain their global leadership in global sales and innovation which had been lacking at the time. Daniel was recognized and recruited to apply the lessons learned in Italy on small car design development. His abilities and quest for adventure provided the numerous international design postings in Japan with Toyota, Suzuki and Isuzu joint ventures for GM Global operations. Smaller and lighter became an important element in the vocabulary of Daniel’s approach to design. It was part of this logic that propelled Daniel to join the team in Germany at Adam Opel to coordinate the complex assignment of developing vehicles to be sold in Asia, Europe and North America with common engineering platforms. Of course being part the vast brand conglomerate of GM provided rich opportunities in the design studio’s of Chevrolet, Buick, Hummer, GMC Truck and Cadillac design where Daniel was part of the team that created the revolutionary DNA of the CTS that now infuses all Cadillac’s moving forward. Having this extraordinary experience became a factor in Daniel’s most important assignment of his career. Design manager North America on the world’s first truly autonomous preproduction concept, the GM EN-V designed for the 2010 Worlds’ Fair in Shanghai China. Together with GM China (PATAC), Segway corporation and the entire GM Research and advanced knowledge centers, the realization of a fully autonomous family of self-driving vehicles stunned the world by the wonderful proof of concept displayed and demonstrated at the World’s Fair. This got the attention of many of China’s OEM’s who where starting to plan for an expansion of design and investment that has transformed the world. China wanted and needed people like Daniel to FastTrack the creative process. CH-AUTO is one of China’s largest leading design and engineering companies with deep relationships with the largest car and truck companies in China. They offered Daniel an entire company to build and manage a young creative team to assist the important task of offering innovative and original design and brand solution creation in order to evolve the entire industry. He is a pioneer and a recognized leader in his field and sought after by schools and industry to provide his vision and wisdom. Tsinghua University in Beijing counts Daniel as a friend and trusted source of enlightenment for the students. Alas, putting all of the unique applications and creative energy devoted to putting the top companies on the map finally awakened the leadership at CH-AUTO to embark on the ambitious process of launching the world’s most exquisite electric super car. Extra wide, low and fast with a completely fabricated carbon fiber body with an advanced battery and energy management system supported by an all aircraft aluminum structure left only one key question? How to design the most beautiful interior and exterior shape to compliment the technology. Well, Daniel and his team were more than up to the task. The result is the QIANTU K50, Agreeably, the first and most advanced vehicle from China. Not just the K50 but also the K20, K25, Concept One Lux Sedan and the MPV which stunned the world at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. Inspiration, Technology, Evolution and Transformation now usher in a new era of mobility moving and interacting as never before. ALLIV Autonomous is the solution to a larger narrative of the “Broadband World”. Seamless movement of humans, cargo, information and services are now possible and Daniel Darancou is at the forefront of this revolution. Peering over the horizon and creating realizations in hardware and new materials is a unique gift that Daniel gives to the world. Consider him a bridge to the future!
