About The Conference

After the worldwide downturn and crisis in 2008 and 2009, the automotive market worldwide has bounced back and recovered well. In 2014, approximately 85 million new light vehicles (cars and light trucks) were shipped worldwide. This number is projected to reach 110 million by 2020. Currently, each vehicle has an average of 60-100 sensors on board. Because cars are rapidly getting “smarter” the number of sensors is projected to reach as many as 200 sensors per car. These numbers translate to approximately 22 billion sensors used in the automotive industry per year by 2020.

So what are the emerging applications enabled by the next-generation sensors and electronics? And what are the technologies that will enable new applications? These are the key questions that will drive the discussion at this annual event – Automotive Sensors and Electronics Expo 2017.

This event will bring together leading experts in automotive sensors and electronics who will discuss a wide range of business and technology issues, ongoing trends, and emerging applications. The future is bright for the automotive industry – and it is especially bright for automotive sensors and electronics.
