Dr. Josep Aulinas is an Automotive Platform Architect at Nvidia. He specialized in computer vision and robotics and completed his Ph.D. in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. He joined ADASENS Automotive, where he developed camera-based algorithms as part of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) solutions, such as vehicle recognition and tracking (forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking), lane recognition (lane departure warning, lane keep assist), traffic sign recognition, pedestrian detection (vulnerable road user protection), obstacle recognition with mono and stereo vision, among others. He then led various R+D projects, including lane change assist, camera online calibration, and lens occlusion detection. At Nvidia, he is supporting OEMs define their next-generation architecture, targeting higher levels of ADAS and ultimately Automated Driving (AD).

Hanky Sjafrie is the author of Introduction to Self-Driving Vehicle Technology and an independent consultant specializing in automotive software engineering for Advanced Driver Assistance (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD). Much of his experience was acquired through his deep involvement in these fields while working on various R&D projects for car manufacturers and automotive technology suppliers, ranging from sensor technologies (radars, lidars, ultrasonics, etc.) to automotive cybersecurity. He was actively involved in diverse series development and research projects within the domains of ADAS/AD and infotainment systems at BMW and Audi, as well as at a Silicon Valley-based autonomous driving start-up. Besides working with clients from the automotive industry, he also provides insights into the realm of automotive technology to Siemens, Boston Consulting Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Roland Berger, among others.
