Keynote: Redefining Mobility In A Connected World - Peter Schwarzenbauer, BMW Group Board Member
Technology Pavilion
Los Angeles Convention CenterTechnology is enabling us to completely reimagine and redefine the concept of mobility as we know it today. How will technologies like autonomous driving and electrification, digitalization and connectivity not only change mobility but re-shape our future? What does all of this mean for automakers, consumers and society as a whole? How will the cooperation of new partners from completely different fields impact and accelerate this change? BMW Group Board Member Peter Schwarzenbauer will discuss these topics and highlight how the BMW Group is actively working to shape the future.

Electrically Shared
Technology Pavilion
Los Angeles Convention CenterWe know car and ride sharing will continue to be a major factor as our mobility strategies unfold. But what can we expect to see with car sharing against a backdrop of the significant projected increases in electric vehicles and autonomous cars? How do electric vehicles change the model for car sharing, and what can we expect out of ride sharing services when self-driving cars become commonplace? Our panel of experts gives us insight into the benefits and challenges in our shared future.

The Future of Human Driving
Technology Pavilion
Los Angeles Convention CenterFor many, cars are not merely transportation but rather transformation – they are the purest expression of our power over machines. In a future where self-driving cars are demonstrably safer than humans, what is the future of human driving? If self-driving becomes mandated, where will humans go for the cathartic release of mind over machine? Will it be racing? Video games/VR? Join Alex Roy, Editor-at-Large for Time’s automotive portal, The Drive, as he talks with cross-industry experts about the lessons the car can learn from the race track, silver screen, and game console.

The Battle of the Battery
Technology Pavilion
Los Angeles Convention CenterAnalysts paint a compelling vision for predominantly electric vehicles, battery pack delivery, battery farms, and more. Similarly, bullish industry pundits expect up to 90% of our miles to be electric by 2030 – that’s an awful lot of batteries. How can we create batteries at the level of quality, performance, volume, and cost necessary to enable this electric future, and what opportunities and challenges will we encounter along the way? Listen to Peter Rawlinson, CTO of Lucid Motors, explain how batteries may indeed be the key to our transportation needs and what we need to do to make this new paradigm happen.

Electric Vehicles: from Romance to Dominance
Technology Pavilion
Los Angeles Convention CenterWhen internal combustion engines were invented around the turn of the twentieth century, the lack of gas stations made cars suitable for a picnic but little else. While most drivers’ daily trips can be met by the electric vehicles currently on the road, there is a need for more EV charging infrastructure away from home to help accelerate adoption. What infrastructure solutions will help the EV market grow to ensure EV becomes a sensible choice instead of a principled one? While driving an EV is cheaper than the costs of fueling and maintaining an internal combustion engine car, when will the purchase costs be at parity? Learn from our expert panel how we can best influence governments, city planners, and vehicle makers to help realize our EV dreams.

Roadside Ransomware: Fact or Fiction?
Technology Pavilion
Los Angeles Convention CenterA hacker simultaneously controlling thousands of vehicles has the potential to upset modern driving in a way that we have not seen since 9/11 hijackers affected airline travel. Hollywood has already capitalized on this fear in films depicting massive auto-related hacks – but are we really that vulnerable? Our cybersecurity expert panel discusses the plausibility and practicality of vehicle hacking today and in the future, where the true threats lie, and what we can do about it.

Keynote Interview - Autonomous Tomorrow: John Krafcik, CEO, Waymo
Technology Pavilion
Los Angeles Convention CenterWaymo is galloping towards the autonomous finish line aided by a massive amount of simulated miles and more on-pavement self-driving miles than any other company. They are willing and able to challenge expectations and upset the status quo, from vehicle production to existing regulation. Their partnership deal with Avis and Zipcar gives them access to a fleet, maintenance, and sales channels – all necessary ingredients for turning the autonomous car from a lab prototype into a commercial enterprise. What’s the next step for getting self-driving cars into the hands of the public, and how soon is it? We hear from Waymo CEO John Krafcik about his company’s vision for the self-driving car and how they are making it come to life.

Hit or Miss: Busting Road Safety Myths
Technology Pavilion
Los Angeles Convention CenterTraffic deaths rose last year in the US at the greatest level since 1964 – by 35 percent in LA alone. Much of the research on this fatal trend blames distracted pedestrians and drivers. In April, Zen Drive released data from five million drivers who say they are using their smart phones 88 percent of the time. As our cars become smart phones, what happens as we transition and what can we learn? How will connected autonomous vehicles handle the chaotic, complex interactions in cities and what can they teach people about good manners? This panel features a discussion among leaders on the front lines of safety about the myths and realities of technology's ability to solve this tremendous challenge.

Keynote Interview - Safety Without Compromise: Jan Carlson, Autoliv
Technology Pavilion
Los Angeles Convention CenterHuman errors cause more than 90% of all fatal crashes and the addition of autonomous driving technology is expected to significantly reduce these needless deaths. But the shining beacon of autonomous cars is not without a cautionary side. Self-driving technology is yet to be perfected to existing safety standards and many difficult challenges remain in allowing vehicles to drive themselves safely under all circumstances. Join our emcee Brian Cooley from CNET as he talks with Jan Carlson, Chairman, President, and CEO of Autoliv, the world’s largest automotive safety supplier, in our closing keynote interview to learn how we can deliver robust, quality autonomous products that are easy to understand and use. Jan Carlson will share with us the challenges that lie ahead in the safety landscape, charting a way for the industry to move forward.

Innovation through Collaboration
Technology Pavilion
Los Angeles Convention CenterThe rapid transformation of mobility has led to both dire predictions of the demise of the auto industry and wild visions of what mobility will look like in the future. Between the diverse narratives lies the story of innovation within a tradition-bound industry. Honda believes innovation in mobility will come from rapid advancements in big data, AI, and robotics, technologies outside the domain of the auto industry.
To pursue these and other technologies that will shape the future of mobility, Honda recently announced the establishment of a new global company, Honda Innovations, which will have global responsibilities for transformative collaborations within all areas of Honda's activities. Honda Innovations will tap into the convergence of technologies that will transform mobility, create new business opportunities, and change the way we manufacture products.
Nick Sugimoto, CEO of Honda Innovations, will speak about the forces shaping the future of mobility and how the industry’s focus on open innovation and collaborative partnerships will secure the industry’s path as it faces massive disruption.
