#108 - Chris Van Dan Elzen - Vice President, Veoneer

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.
