PALO ALTO, Calif., May 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SAE
International® announces a new Meetup that will explore the
Metawave radar platform and how it is used in autonomous
vehicles.
Presented by SAE – Innovations in Mobility, "M etawave: A New
Radar for Automated Driving" will be held Tuesday, May 28, from 6:30-9 p.m. at Ford's Greenfield Labs, 3251 Hillview Ave.,
Palo Alto, Calif.
The Meetup will feature two featured presentors:
- Matt Harrison, Head of
Artificial Intelligence, METAWAVE
Metawave is building a radar platform to identify and classify
objects at long-range with a higher resolution than today's radar.
With its groundbreaking beam-steering capabilities, Metawave's
WARLORD™ can detect and classify vehicles beyond 300 meters and
pedestrians beyond 200 meters. Detection at these distances has
proven challenging for other sensors but is essential for safe,
high-speed autonomous driving. Metawave's radar can penetrate dense
fog and rain while maintaining its high performance. Metawave's AI
engine, branded AWARE™, is the intelligence behind Metawave's
products that enables the radar to distinguish between cyclists,
pedestrians and cars.
Harrison develops the AI engine architecture that powers
Metawave's autonomous driving radar platform. He holds a PhD in
Theoretical Physics with extensive experience constructing deep
neural networks. Writing code originated out of a necessity to
interpret large data sets of nano-scale surface patterns caused by
ion bombardment. Harrison's unique background and skill set provide
him with an affinity for distilling complex, data-driven systems
and tackling challenging quantitative problems that are facing the
radar industry. He has led projects implementing deep CNNs, c-GANs,
dense neural networks, and clustering algorithms. He received his
PhD from Colorado State University and
his BA in Pure Physics from the University of
Oregon.
- John Tintinalli, IAMTS
Secretariat, IAMTS
IAMTS is the result of nearly two years of effort to form a
global partnership of stakeholder organizations in mobility testing
and standardization. It is growing rapidly with new members
entering its ranks on a weekly basis. John will explain the
mission, vision and scope of the International Alliance for
Mobility Testing and Standardization and why SAE and other
organizations are finding it an important vehicle and forum for
supporting advanced mobility commercialization.
Tintinalli wears two hats: one as SAE International's Director
of Innovation and another as IAMTS' Secretariat. His role for the
prior three years at SAE International was as Global Product Group
Director for Ground Vehicles, and of course he hosts this Meetup
series that you are attending. Prior to joining SAE, Tintinalli
held executive roles with companies in automotive and healthcare.
Notable works include developing the worlds' first SaaS logistics
management platform (subsequently sold to Landstar and then XPO),
and having created the logistics management system used by BMW for
its X3 and later U.S.
production vehicles. He splits time between his home in
Detroit and his horse-barn
apartment in the Santa Cruz
mountains above Palo Alto. He has
a BS from Michigan and an MBA from
North Carolina.
Food and drinks will be served beginning at 6:30 p.m. The presentation begins at 7 p.m. Q&A will follow.
