ROAD 2024

6th International Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving
July 3rd and 4th, 2024, Penzing, Bavaria, Germany

ROAD is a special, international format that enables the exchange of driver assistance systems, automated and autonomous driving.

The aim of ROAD is to provide a trusted environment for open and productive exchange in an isolated setting. In this special event format based on keynotes and rotating world cafés, the defined topics can be explored and discussed from different perspectives: formal communication meets informal communication and opens up new ways of thinking for all participants!

Organized by ROAD 2024 Organizing Committee
