About us
A regular meetup series sponsored by SAE International (sae.org) to promote the accelerated advancement and development of next generation vehicles and their supporting technologies and infrastructure. Topics include everything related to 21st century MOBILITY, including: electrification, automation, V2V communications, lightweight materials, sensors, cybersecurity, supply chain integrity, propulsion systems, transportation planning, testing and simulation, etc.
Each month, SAE sponsors a guest speaker (along with food and refreshments) with the goal of bridging ideas and gaps between East and West, between the Americas, Europe and Asia, and between Detroit and Silicon Valley.
SAE has supported the advancement of engineering for over 100 years. We look forward to helping the innovators who will define the vision for the next 100 years.

7:30p Networking
8:00p EndABSTRACT
Traffic injuries and fatalities remain a major global problem despite decades of safety technology progress. Physical crash tests are expensive and only possible once a vehicle exists, when design freedom has largely disappeared — and crash test dummies capture limited body types and measure loads, not injury mechanisms.
This makes early virtual testing essential, and Human Body Models play a critical role by representing anatomy, posture, and biomechanical response across a far broader population and scenario space.
This session reviews where the industry stands and what remains open — and how Autoliv's HBM Safety Suite addresses these challenges.
