The Valley of Execution: A panel discussion on the real-world application of L4

29 Oct 2026
Day 3 AM - L4 Autonomy
Join industry leaders for a discussion on the "Valley of Execution," where the focus shifts from pilots to the gritty reality of commercial scaling. Our experts will address the technical challenges of the safety-cost-regulatory trilemma that need to be addressed in order for players to move from the "green zone" to global deployment. Topics to discuss include social acceptance, closing the safety case, decisions with partners and make/buy impact your cost and ability to scale, the tension between capital-intensive Level 4 autonomy investments and the demand for profitable, software-defined fleet architectures that can scale sustainably, and the when and where and how of simulation.
