 E-Mail Automotive autonomy technology is changing economies and global industries - and is also a driving force behind military modernization. Bringing these self-driving vehicles to life on- and off-road requires new concepts and algorithms to be tested expeditiously and cost-effectively - all of which happen through virtual prototyping. This key enabler for autonomy is the focus behind a new $18 million center housed at the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU...

And i dont envision that the united states would come back to europe saying ok we need to put ground systems back on the ground here in europe have been hodges we thank you so much for your perspective and we just scratched the surface really there is so much that is being discussed at that three day conference there in munich but we very much appreciate your analysis especially considering your position as former commander of the u.s. army and your own thank you. today is the last day of the co...
