Autonomous Vehicles: Not Business as Usual
Please join us for an evening to learn how the technological development of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is set to fundamentally transform the automaker’s 100 year old business model.
We are pleased to have Mr. Paul Godsmark, Chief Technology Officer of the Canadian Automated Vehicles Centre of Excellence (CAVCOE), review major AV developments, major partnerships and collaborations in the AV development space, as well as the business models that many players appear to be following. Consideration will also be given to cities, and how their goals and strategic planning will likely shape these new business models. Major assumptions around the incremental development of the current automotive sector paradigm will be challenged.
The agenda items for the event are:
Networking: 5:30 p.m.
Dinner: 6:00 p.m.
Speaker: 7:15 p.m.

Event Data Recorder Training
ADVANCED EDR ANALYSIS COURSE – March 20 to 24, 2017
CATAIR Prairie Region and the Society of Automotive Engineers – Alberta Section
are pleased to co-host an Advanced Event Data Recorder Analysis course on
March 20 to 24, 2017, at the Sawridge Inn Edmonton South (4235 Gateway Blvd.,
Edmonton, Alberta).
The five-day course will be presented by Mr. Richard Ruth, Professional Engineer
and former long-time employee of the Ford Motor Corporation. Mr. Ruth’s
resume and the outline for the custom-designed course are attached. Please be
aware that we received an overwhelming response for this course but there are
only a limited number of seats so not everyone who responded to our initial
notice will be guaranteed a spot. Registrations will be accepted on a first-come
first-served basis only once payment is received.
We need to emphasize that this course is designed for EXPERIENCED FORENSIC
INVESTIGATORS who have a STRONG understanding of physics, trigonometry and
math related to accident reconstruction in addition to a working knowledge of
crash-related event data. Attendees will be expected to move through case
studies at a fast pace. This is NOT equivalent to an IPTM Level I or Level II course.
Registration includes buffet lunch and two refreshment breaks on each day of the
course. Members of CATAIR and SAE Alberta receive a discount on their
registration cost. Rooms at the hotel have been guaranteed at $105/night
inclusive of breakfast (taxes extra).
