## Description

Cars are getting smarter. But the shift to Level 5 autonomy will take time, testing, and, most of all, the technical chops to perfect the connected car at the component level. That means sensors, 5G, systems on chip, and other foundational elements that are the heart of the autonomous vehicle.

This summer, Drive World Conference & Expo launches in Silicon Valley with North America's largest embedded systems event, Embedded Systems Conference (ESC). The inaugural three-day showcase brings together the brightest minds across the automotive electronics and embedded systems industries who are looking to shape the technology of tomorrow.

Will you be there to help engineer this shift?

### Great training for a young engineer! — 4.4/5

*By Lane Lutgen*

I have been working in embedded software for 2 years now since graduating college. While attending the ESC I learned a lot of great things about best practices, modern debugging techniques, new and upcoming technologies, as well as just being exposed to a lot of great companies with valuable products and services. I would highly recommend this conference to other young engineers like myself to establish yourself a great foundation for your career moving forward. My only criticism perhaps would be that there were a few classes that were incredibly basic, to the point where I believe the information provided is easy to find free online. Most classes however were very informative. If you do attend I would recommend taking the more advanced classes to get your money's worth.
