The automotive engineer of the future is going to be a hybrid of knowledge
coming from pure mechanical and going through electrical field toward computer
science reaching machine learning and artificial intelligence with cross-references
in 4.1 industry and Internet of things. We will be dreaming of the ages where one
engineer would have the knowledge and the means to design, project, and produce a
vehicle prototype; now whether we like it or not, the software engineering is the
leading violin and the rest of the orchestra will have to follow. I wonder whether the
director is a real human being or a product or artificial intelligence designed to
interpret and to generate solutions as a result of billions and billions of statistical
calculations?
Engineers have always debated their ideas, challenging each other in providing
better solutions to strategic problems; some of the best places to promote ideas and
to have debates are the international congresses, which provide an environment
where specialists from all over the world come to share and to promote their newly
discovered solutions.
