The next CARS and Revs workshop will be on the future of personal mobility devices. Defined as powered vehicles with a small footprint (consider electric scooters, neighborhood electric vehicles, and even powered unicycles), they are an important enabler of micro travel within a city. The workshop will bring together small startups, large manufacturers, municipal and planning experts as well as researchers from the Stanford community. Please join us to learn and experience how personal mobility devices will change your world.

MECON, a half-day scientific conference highlighting current research activities in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, will feature poster presentations followed by a reception.

Celebrate the creative work of the CS210 students as they present projects from CS210: Project-Based Computer Science Innovation & Development. Please join us at the Software Fair on June 8, 2016, 3:30 – 6:15 PM, Stanford Quad-Wallenberg Hall (Building 160). Please RSVP here.

EXPE (Stanford Design EXPErience) on June 2, is the ME Design Group’s celebration of student projects across a broad range of design thinking activities. More information, schedule and updates are on the event web site at: http://expe.stanford.edu.

CPX is a one-day annual exhibition of cutting-edge tech products organized by the Product Design and Manufacturing Club at Stanford Graduate School of Business. CPX is a unique opportunity for companies with cool products to interact with Stanford students and the surrounding community of alumni, press, and investors. See the CPX website and a video of CPX 2013 to give you an idea of what the event is like.

The spring schedule for the Sustainable Mobility Seminar is available here. The series brings together leading experts in research, industry, and policy to foster knowledge transfer and collaboration. The first talk will be held on Friday, April 1 in Y2E2, 105, 1:40 – 3:00 PM.

'The Future of In-Vehicle Notifications’ is the first in a series of workshops sponsored by Revs and CARS. For decades, the automobile has had in-vehicle alerts and notifications, but mostly trained users to disregard them because they weren't actionable or very useful (consider the check engine light). In parallel, we have seen personal devices such as smartphones using notifications as both a communications and action layer for the last few years. In the future, the vehicle will be a forum for more actionable notifications and the impacts of this for the user are great.

Minnie Ingersoll, co-founder and COO at Shift Technologies, Inc., is the featured speaker for the DFJ Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders lecture at 4:30 PM at NVIDIA Auditorium, Huang Engineering Center. Shift offers an online marketplace to make buying and selling cars more efficient. Prior to joining Shift, Ingersoll worked at Google for more than 11 years as a principle at Google.org and a product manager for Google Fiber.

This is the first Autonomous Vehicle Innovators’ Forum hosted by Civil Maps and StartX at Stanford.  The event is sold-out but a few seats are being held for affiliates. This panel seminar will focus on leveraging deep neural networks (DNNs) to create maps for use in autonomous vehicles and will explore recent advancements in deep learning and its potentially game-changing effect on generating precise environmental perception for autonomous vehicles.
