GIFT: Come early and claim your EMC Hat! Road Safety has vastly increased due to continued development in Automotive Driver Assisted Systems (ADAS). A critical element of these systems are high resolution digital cameras. To facilitate high data transfer between camera and the ADAS ECU, serial/deserializer (“SerDes”) communication links are used, which primarily consist of coaxial cable interconnects. This paper will focus on the challenges in using SerDes in an automotive environment with special focus on required shielding performance. The talk will include review of current USCAR standards and needed future improvements.

This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either. Agentic AI, also known as Autonomous AI, is a type of AI that is able to independently design, execute, and optimize workflows. Its recent emergence marks a dramatic shift towards more autonomous, decision-making entities capable of planning, reasoning, and taking actions in complex environments. In this talk, Prasad Venkatachar will explore the core distinctions between Generative AI (Gen AI) and Agentic AI, highlighting key characteristics, technological advancements, and applications across various industries. He will also delve into how it’s possible to navigate from passive content generation in Gen AI to active problem-solving intelligence. This is done using the core building blocks of the Agentic AI architecture by way of retrieval augmented generation (RAG), the leading technique for enhancing large language models (LLMs) with enterprise data.
