An engineer, technologist, and advocate, Indu Vijayan is the Director of Product Management for AEye and the founder of Women in Autonomy. Over the years in automotive, Vijayan noticed how few women were at the table and set out to reverse this trend. Under Vijayan's leadership, Women in Autonomy has grown into an influential forum that educates, equips, and empowers women in all industries, from automotive and mobility to industrial, robotics, smart cities, and beyond.   In this episode, we go back to Vijayan's college years; we explore the potential of adaptive LiDAR and see what the future holds for Women in Autonomy.     WIA Website: https://www.womeninautonomy.com/ AutoVision News Website: https://www.autovision-news.com/   Connect with us on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/35UO8eN 

The modern automobile is a collection of many different systems combined to create a finished product. No one system is "better" than another as each serves a specific and essential function. In the same way, our automotive careers are the sum of many different experiences, none of which we should discount.   Justin C. McKnight, founder of Steady Growth Consulting, is many things: an engineer, executive, technical sales professional, leadership coach, hip-hop artist, and father. Justin shows us how what we do in life and business is interconnected and how it's possible to take what we have learned and channel it towards a more fulfilling future.   "Born, raised, and still living with my family in Michigan, I've enjoyed my 20 plus years in the automotive industry working for several different global tier suppliers," Justin said. "I now have the experience to help organizations build cohesive leadership teams that inspire cultures of greatness, leading to increased fulfillment, retention, and revenues while lowering costs."  www.autovision-news.com  Connect with us on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/35UO8eN

Software-defined architectures are the key to making the "car of the future" possible. An electrified vehicle with the highest levels of connectivity and convenience can likely only be achieved through a software-centric platform. While such platforms promise increased safety, comfort, and functionality, the computing power requirements jump exponentially. To gather some insight into software-defined cars, we turned to Daniel Sisco, the Senior Director of Digital Product Strategy at Renesas. We explore how Renesas is helping set the tone for several converging trends in automotive, including electrification and autonomy. Daniel also shares his early years in college and why he decided to pursue a career in automotive.   www.autovision-news.com Connect with us on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/35UO8eN
