Emerging Technology Forum: Car Futures March 9, 2006

What emerging technologies, fuels and innovative designs are being readied for tomorrow?s automobiles? Engineers are already testing artificial intelligence systems in next generation navigation systems that already use built-in laser and radar technology. These precision systems respond to traffic conditions by automatically braking and adjusting the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. And advanced vehicle-to-vehicle communication has become the foundation for new collision avoidance systems. It?s a two-way street when it comes to how these technologies influence and drive new design ideas.
For a unique look ahead at new technological prospects for cars, the VC TaskForce has assembled a panel of leading automobile experts from the Silicon Valley labs of DaimlerChrysler Research, Volkswagen and Stanford. Join the VC TaskForce Emerging Technology Forum for a provocative evening exploring next generation technologies, investment opportunities and how these developments are likely to shape your future.
