ADAS in the Wild
September 13, 2023 | 1:00-2:00pm ET
Register HereThis Wednesdays with Woodward program is proudly presented as part of the Travelers Institute’s Every Second Matters® initiative, which empowers drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians to speak up, set positive examples and play an active role in changing roadway behaviors to help prevent injuries and save lives.
Newer vehicles today are packed with sensors and technology. This includes a group of features known as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (or ADAS), that aim to help drivers better react to danger on the road and partially automate the driving task. So how are drivers today actually handling all this new tech? Are we beginning to see safety benefits? Hop in the passenger seat with Dr. Bryan Reimer as he shares insights from MIT’s Advanced Vehicle Technology Consortium, which studies real life drivers in and around New England operating some of today’s most tech-forward vehicle models. He’ll be joined by Travelers’ Personal Insurance Vice President Amanda Mezerewski for a deep dive on the state of ADAS, its safety benefits, limitations, consumer understanding and more.
Presented by the Travelers Institute, the Master's in Financial Technology (FinTech) Program at the University of Connecticut School of Business, the Insurance Association of Connecticut, the Risk and Uncertainty Management Center at the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business, the Connecticut Business & Industry Association, and MetroHartford Alliance.
