Frank Moesle, Software Department Manager at Valeo, talks with Independent Journalist Junko Yoshida for the “Three Big Topics in Autonomous Driving and ADAS” interview at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this on-stage interview, Moesle and Yoshida focus on trends and challenges in automotive technology, autonomous driving and ADAS. First up: Sensor fusion is often touted as the perception solution for autonomy. But what exactly is it? What’s involved and what are the challenges?
Next, Moesle and Yoshida discuss the trend toward “software-defined everything” in automotive. Is it just a buzzword, or are there places where it brings real value? And finally, they touch on software reliability: if cars are becoming increasingly autonomous and dependent on software, how do we build automotive systems that are safe and reliable?
