Counterpoint Senior Analyst Murtuza Ali will be moderating the World Cafe session “Will AVs evolve toward a camera-only vision future, or will LiDAR remain essential in building robust, safe systems?”.

• How will regulatory requirements shape the adoption of LiDAR alongside camera-based vision systems in autonomous vehicles?
• How could breakthroughs in neural networks and camera processing make vision-only systems not just viable, but superior, and what hurdles remain?
• Would real-world or simulated data diversity in training AV perception systems improve them enough to fully overcome environmental limitations like poor lighting or weather?
• How could improvements in LiDAR’s form factor and cost-effectiveness influence the choice between a hybrid sensor suite and a camera-only system?
• How can LiDAR play a critical “training wheels” role, adequately training perception through camera only systems, to enable removal of LiDAR in production vehicles?

Counterpoint Associate Director Claudia Krehl will be presenting a case study “How to advance human-machine interaction – A consumer research on adoption, perception, and commercialization of AVs.” This presentation examines user interactions with ADAS and automated driving features across key markets, focusing on usage patterns, benefits, and experiences. It highlights the effectiveness of OEM-provided user interfaces in communicating system status and managing handovers, identifying challenges and opportunities for improvement. By exploring the role of AI in enhancing usability and trust, this session provides actionable insights for advancing human-machine interaction in autonomous vehicles.

In this session, you will deep dive into:

• Usage of ADAS features as well as partial and fully automated driving features across key markets
• Usage patterns, experiences, and benefits
• Feedback on user interfaces provided by OEMs and how well information is communicated, and handovers are managed
