Waymo, Zoox, Woven by Toyota, CA DMV and Zeekr to speak on technology, safety and law at ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Summit North America
Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On August 27 and 28, the 2025 edition of ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Technology Summit North America, will take place in San Jose in California, USA. International leaders in automated driving, including OEMs, technology innovators, suppliers, academia, government and regulatory bodies will gather at the McEnery Convention Centre to explore public acceptance and trust; regulatory frameworks and standards; developments in AI, software and data analytics; safety innovations and best practices; connectivity; cybersecurity and ethical issues. The show has evolved to meet industry demand for accelerating scalable end-to-end ADAS/AV development and deployment, enhanced safety, and reduced costs, all the while complying with standards and stringent regulations. Contributors include Waymo, Plus, Zoox, Carnegie Mellon University, Torc Robotics, Uber, AWS, IBM, California DMV, PAVE, Woven by Toyota, GM and Nissan.
At the exhibition, established suppliers and disruptors will highlight their latest products, technologies, trends and services to help accelerate test and validation programs, whether that’s developing new vehicles, robotaxis, off-highway vehicles, last-mile delivery, autonomous trucks, social mobility, microbility or autonomous shuttles. On display will be connectivity, sensor fusion, cloud and edge computing, simulation tools, digital twins, deep learning and AI-driven scenario generation, data analysis, vehicle positioning and localization. Highlights include Deontic’s generative AI platform that accelerates operational design domain (ODD) validation through advanced natural language processing, agent-based automation and deep integration with numerous simulation tools and standards such as OpenScenario and OpenDrive; at OXTS’s booth, the company will reveal how sensor fusion is key to unlocking the potential of GNSS-denied navigation; Xylon will give live demonstrations of its HIL setup for ZF’s forward-facing Smart Camera 6 – using raw and synthetic sensory data; while visitors to Rohde & Schwarz’s booth can see a test bench for real-world Sensor Fusion ADAS/AV HIL Test with partner IPG. The Open Tech Forum will feature presentations such as Gapwaves’ radar sensor design with gap waveguide antenna technology for improved ADAS and AD.
Meanwhile, the main conference will feature sessions covering AI, software and architecture, vision and sensing and other transformative developments. Delegates will hear how these technologies can be proven and trusted to be safely deployed. As autonomous vehicles move from pilots to real-world deployment, Here Technologies will showcase how its dynamic location platform integrates sensor fusion, real-time updates and AI-powered mapping to enable safe, scalable autonomous navigation. Honda Research Institute will look at ‘reading the road: scalable, perception-driven mapping of road infrastructure quality’. Lolo Company will explain why connectivity is one of the main enablers of the smart cities of tomorrow and how OEMs should navigate the landscape of MNOs and service providers to put themselves in the driver's seat for the urban future.
Speakers will also reference China as a leader in autonomous driving. Robosense will investigate why lidar is scaling faster in China than anywhere else – and what global OEMs can learn from its regulatory, consumer and integration models. Zeekr’s keynote ‘Robotaxi revolution: accelerating global deployment with AI and the emerging legal framework for Level 4 autonomy’ will explore how regions such as the EU, China, Germany, UK, and the United States are pioneering harmonized legal standards that define operational domains, liability, cybersecurity, and remote monitoring for Level 4 autonomy, to unlock scalable, trustworthy robotaxi deployment worldwide.
Addressing safety and public acceptance, Waymo will speak on ‘Waymo Driver safety and deployment readiness – methodologies and criteria for absence of unreasonable risk’, while Woven by Toyota will delve into evolving safe mobility. GM will also share safety considerations for personal autonomous vehicles (PAVS). Meanwhile, the University of Warwick will explore ‘objectifying safety for automated driving: defining the stopping criteria through a leading indicators approach’. A panel discussion on AVs and public acceptance will see how engineers can help ready the public for widespread deployment.
Transitioning into security concerns, QNX will show how safety and security is key to increasing the public perception of autonomous vehicles. The transformation from an isolated mechanical car to a highly inter-connected software-driven car for the ultimate customer driving experience demands advanced security implementation to enable safe and secure vehicles – as such, ETAS will present on securing the vehicle computer to realize the SDV. Meanwhile, TÜV Rheinland of North America will give a practical example of how to prevent an ADAS AI/ML poisoning attack using ISO TR 5469.
The evolving legal landscape for connected vehicle data will be explored in Honigman’s presentation, ‘Biometrics to geolocation: sensitive data in connected and autonomous vehicles,’ addressing privacy risks (e.g. biometrics, geolocation), cybersecurity threats and compliance strategies under state/federal laws. Attendees will gain actionable insights into balancing innovation with regulatory demands, mitigating enforcement risks and implementing industry privacy principles. The CA DMV will provide an overview of California's framework for regulating automated driving systems (SAE Level 3-4). Uber, ASAM and Torc Robotics will also contribute to the session, Standards, regulations and legal issues. Ethical considerations are also touched on during the summit by Carnegie Mellon University, with Professor Philip Koopman speaking on ‘understanding vehicle safety.’
