WCX focuses on technologies and their application to solve critical problems that move the automotive industry forward. In addition to electronics, safety, powertrain, materials, emissions, and propulsion, WCX is seeking experts to address the latest in Autonomous Driving Systems, internet of things, semiconductors, ADAS, Smart Manufacturing, and Smart Transportation.
 
WCX is asking for presentations – with or without a technical paper – on the critical issues and technology that are shaping the automotive industry.

Abstracts are due by Sept. 4.
 
The WCX SAE World Congress Experience is slated for April 9-11, 2019 in Detroit, Michigan.
 
Mary Ellen Rosenberger, BaySpring Solutions (former Ford) and Chris Seubert, Ford Motor Company, will again co-chair the session.
