SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - Mar 12, 2013) - The vehicle of the future is the focus of the upcoming conference hosted by The Asia America MultiTechnology Association (AAMASV) being held on Thursday, March 14, 2013 at Silicon Valley Bank, 3005 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, CA. Just as we are connected to our home, work phone, and friends through a complex maze of networks, the vehicle is emerging as the next spoke on the network.
The conference investigates developments in wireless access, software, location-based applications and sensors that will transform the vehicle into the new "device" for connected services to link the consumer, dealer and manufacturer. Futuristic and complex systems of sensors, robotics and communication networks can dramatically enhance safety and enable cars to be "self-driven."
"Some of the most innovative companies, from early stage start-ups in the Silicon Valley to the largest automakers around the globe, are developing technologies and businesses that will revolutionize not only the automotive industry but also how the digital driving experience will transform our connected society. AAMA is very excited to bring together thought leaders of this important trend in our Connect Series," said Canice Wu, 2013 AAMA co-president, President, Plug and Play Tech Center.
