## Resource

What if the brain of your car wasn’t just smart but continuously learning, scaling, and orchestrating everything from safety to autonomy in real time? Listen in as we sit down with Anshuman Saxena, Vice President and General Manager of ADAS & Robotics at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., to explore how the Snapdragon Ride Pilot is reshaping the path to automated driving. From the rise of physical AI to systems that unify sensors, software, and real-time decision-making, we break down what it actually takes to move from fragmented ADAS features to a fully integrated, AI-refined vehicle. If you want to understand where autonomy is really headed (and what the industry might still be underestimating), this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. We’d love to hear from you. Share your comments, questions and ideas for future topics and guests to podcast@sae.org.
