Self-Driving (AKA autonomous) Vehicles! This is the next logical step beyond having a GPS receiver in your car. I will discuss the numerous technology challenges in Artificial Intelligence that will take many years to solve. As they did for GPS, the military is footing the bill for now and we can expect to reap the benefits as consumers when the technology is ready. During the past few years, the department of defense has sponsored a series of events to push the development of autonomous vehicles. In this presentation, I would like to share with you the challenges, the excitement, and the results of these endeavors.

What is the CTC?

The Convergence Technology Council (CTC) is a thriving Technology Consortium founded in 2005. To date, we have over 24,000 members and growing!

The CTC is dedicated to learning how emerging and converging technologies affect both our corporate and personal enterprises. We meet with technology thought leaders and business executives from vital, growing industries including Unified Communications, Entertainment, On-Line Media, Digital Distribution, Gaming, Social Networking, Medicine, Science, Energy - and many more.

We are positioned perfectly – right at the forefront of Convergence. At the CTC, we have the distinct advantage of engaging leaders and discussing topics that are 6 to 24 months ahead of the market! Our speakers rely on the CTC members for objective feedback as they bring their ideas, products and projects to the group for open discussion and analysis.

At the CTC you can play a role in the changing face of business. As advances in broadband and wireless networks continue to feed people’s “addiction to data”, combined with the proliferation of portable devices, we see no signs of stopping. So jump in – Converge with us at the Convergence Technology Council!
