#107 - Noam Maital - CEO, Waycare Technologies
07/07/20 • 45 min
Like me, you’ve probably found yourself sitting in traffic, surrounded by vehicles of every size and shape, wondering why there isn’t a better way yet. The good news is that there is.
In this episode of the AI in Automotive Podcast, we are speaking to Noam Maital, CEO of Waycare Technologies, a fabulous company that I came across recently, that uses AI to solve a very real problem - that of traffic management and crash fatalities. company that provides solutions for a host of traffic management agencies. Waycare has built a cloud-based platform that pulls data from a variety of sources - city infrastructure, connected vehicles, navigation apps, and so on. It then uses AI to process this data and provide real-time insights to help traffic management, crash detection and incident prediction.
One of the things that really struck me in today’s conversation is how much data we actually have sitting around, and how poorly utilised it can sometimes turn out to be. Waycare has unearthed just one area where putting the data to better use using the power of AI is yielding tremendous results. Think of what else might be out there...

#106 - Reinhard Stolle - VP Engineering, AID Autonomous Intelligent Driving
Why are Autonomous Vehicles a big deal? How far are they from reality, and what is the most likely path they will take to market? What sort of social, economic and cultural impact might they bring with them?
We explore these themes in our conversation with Dr Reinhard Stolle. Reinhard is Vice President of Engineering at Autonomous Intelligent Driving, or AID. Reinhard has a wealth of experience in the automotive technology and innovation areas, and for over 15 years, has played leadership roles at global automotive OEMs. In 2008, Reinhard founded the central department for Software Architecture and Development at BMW Group. As Managing Director of BMW Car IT from 2012 to 2016, Reinhard built up organisational expertise in the areas of infotainment, driver assistance and autonomous driving. In his most recent role at BMW Group, Reinhard was VP for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and focused on AI for autonomous driving.
AID, is based in Munich, and is bringing together top talent in automotive, software, robotics and AI. Working with the agility and mindset of a start-up and the powerful support and backing of Audi and the Volkswagen Group, AID is creating the backbone of a universal self-driving system.
Our conversation today dipped into Reinhard’s wealth of wisdom, and it was super enlightening for me. I hope you enjoy it too.

We suffer a million and a half fatalities on the roads every year. The number of people who are injured in road traffic incidents is orders of magnitude higher. These numbers are staggering. But also very, very avoidable.
Today we are talking to Chris Van Dan Elzen. Chris is a Vice President at Veoneer, a global leader in automotive technology. Veoneer is putting its considerable resources behind a bold and noble cause - halving the number of traffic fatalities and injuries.
How, you say? Veoneer builds some of the world’s most advanced ADAS hardware, software and systems. Their vision is to democratise access to this technology and make our roads a lot safer in the future.
So, what role does AI have to play in automotive safety? How does this technology bring to life so many advanced safety features that we take for granted today? And what are some of the challenges to democratising AI-powered automotive safety?
These are some of the topics we explore with Chris in our chat today.
