This session will delve into the escalating impact of EV charging on the grid, considering the exponential growth in EV adoption and the corresponding rise in power demand. Is the grid ready for this revolution? What should the different players do to be ready for the EV adoption ramp-up? Participants will include representatives from utilities, EV charging operators, commercial and industrial sectors, and policymakers. Participants will include representatives from utilities, EV charging operators, fleet owners, parking lot operators, commercial and industrial sectors, building operators, and policymakers

In the rapidly evolving landscape of automotive technology, vehicular connectivity stands as a pivotal element driving the enhancement of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving Systems (ADS). This interactive session delves into how seamless vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication fosters safer, more efficient, and intelligent transportation. Participants will explore the integration of real-time data exchange between vehicles and other road users which is instrumental in predicting and mitigating potential hazards, thereby significantly reducing the likelihood of accidents. The communication channels under consideration are either direct peer-to-peer, via roadside infrastructure, or/and commercial mobile networks and even satellite communications. The interactive discussion, animated by 5GAA CTO, Maxime Flament, will highlight cutting-edge technologies such as 5G-V2X direct, 4G/5G, edge computing, software defined vehicles and artificial intelligence that underpin these systems, offering insights into their role in enhancing situational awareness and decision-making capabilities of automated vehicles. Join AutoTalks, BMW, Bosch and GM for this discussion

In this round table we will cover what are the most interesting technologies that would be applicable and sought after in other leading sectors. We will also cover the challenges of various sectors and what is important to know when pivoting. Relevant Audience: leading automotive startups who want to explore expanding to other verticals.

Today, China has a near-monopoly on the automotive market including supply chain for EV batteries, higher production capacity far in excess of the needs of the local market, with the ability to produce EVs much cheaper than anyone else. What does this mean for the future of automakers in the West, or even elsewhere in Asia? In Israel, Chinese EV car sales have surged to a quarter of new car sales. What are the implications of this dominance in Israel?
