Safetronic 2023
Record Attendance

The on-site participants enjoyed the opportunity for personal exchange in the Filderhalle.
Online participants followed the leading safety event for road vehicles via livestream on their computers. 
The hybrid concept was again well received by the participants.

The focus was on steps to autonomous driving, innovative safety approaches to driver assistance and automated driving,safety of the execution platform and SOTIF. The various industry players, e.g. from BMW, Continental, ETAS, Mobileye, NVIDIA and SiFive, were able to provide the participants with news and enrich the discussion with their presentations, both in presence and virtually. Highlights were two keynotes, one from Vay Technology on the need for a safety management system for new mobility concepts and the second from BMW on safe hands-free-driving: within & without drivers’ responsibility.

The Safetronic conference is primarily attended by the automotive manufacturing and supplier, electrical/electronics, software development, mechanical engineering and research industries. The participants work in the departments of research & development, design / product development, quality management, software development and technical sales.

Since 2021, the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS has taken over the organization of the established industry event from Carl Hanser Verlag. For Prof. Dr. habil. Mario Trapp, Executive Director of Fraunhofer IKS, it is particularly important to ensure “the continuity of Safetronic”. And that in terms of presentation quality and also manufacturer independence.

The next date of the “Safetronic” for 2024 has already been set.
It will take place again in Schwabenlandhalle Stuttgart-Fellbach on November 13 and 14.
