"I myself have been attending the Automobil-Elektronik Kongress in Ludwigsburg for over 15 years; the AEK has accompanied me through all the different phases and stages of my career. Personally, I have a very intimate relationship with this congress, which I cannot imagine the industry without. This is the event where decision-makers come together and generate new things. The AEK in Ludwigsburg is the ground, the opportunity, where people meet and can then also talk about such things. Especially now, when so many things are in a state of upheaval, it is more important than ever that we talk very intensively with each other and search very intensively for joint solutions. Ludwigsburg offers the right environment for this. We at Qualcomm Technologies are looking forward to participating again at this year's AEK on June 28 and 29 - I'll be giving a keynote on autonomous driving and AI on June 29, and we'll also be offering ADAS/AD demo rides on site."
