Insights on AAM Autonomy from Automotive...

Siemens
About this episode

Autonomous advanced air mobility (AAM) vehicles are a goal for multiple companies working in the sector. Some are planning to phase it in after using human pilots for some time, while others are jumping straight in to make AAM vehicles uncrewed from launch. In any case, making aircraft like AAM capable of autonomous flight raises new concerns regarding safety and

regulations, especially if they are expected to transport people.


In this episode, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace and Defense for Siemens Digital Industries Software, and Nand Kochhar, Vice President of Automotive and Transportation for Siemens, continue their discussion on what AAM companies can learn from automotive when making AAM autonomous. They focus on cybersecurity, the importance of redundancy for AAM, and how to ensure timely product releases while meeting certification standards.

 

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The increasing importance of cybersecurity in autonomous vehicles
  • How automotive ensures profitable product releases while complying with regulations
  • How autonomous AAMs could be monitored
  • Why redundancy is critical for autonomous AAM
