18:30 Talk I - Stephen t' Siobbel - PM 3D Maps and Highly Automated Driving at TomTom

TomTom is working on the production of maps for highly automated driving. Building and maintaining these maps requires an enormous amount of data, software, and algorithms. This presentation will offer some insight into TomTom’s latest efforts in this area.

Stephen joined the independent map provider Tele Atlas in 1996 as a researcher. In the early 2000’s he initiated the deployment of mobile mapping technology. Before and after the acquisition of Tele Atlas by TomTom he has worked as a product manager in the area of maps for advanced driver assistance systems and highly automated driving.
