Getting Closer to Autonomous and 5G-Connected Vehicles

Alan Amici (LinkedIn) is the Vice President and Chief Technical Officer of Transportation Solutions for TE Connectivity. Which, in layman's terms means that he is responsible for making our cars and vehicles more high tech and connected than ever before.

Alan grew up in Detroit, Michigan, so his love of cars runs deep. He turned that love into a 30-year career at Chrysler and now doing incredible things with TE Connectivity. Throughout his decades in the industry, Alan has not just seen the transformation of cars from simple machines that get us from point A to Point B to highly intelligent vehicles that can drive themselves, he’s been a part of making it a reality. In this episode of IT Visionaries, Alan and Ian discuss everything from how Formula-E Racing informs consumer car technology, to the future of autonomous driving and more.
