About this event
Level 5 automation is the point where the conversation about autonomous systems stops being theoretical and starts demanding real answers. This online session focuses on UL 4600 through the lens of SAE J3016 Level 5 – Full Automation, giving you a practical way to think about what full automation means, why it is uniquely challenging, and how safety expectations evolve when there is no human fallback. If you work in, study, or follow autonomy, this is a useful chance to step back from headlines and look closely at the framework behind the technology. Expect a grounded discussion designed for people who want substance, context, and a chance to connect with others interested in automated systems. About the Event This virtual event centers on UL 4600 and its relationship to SAE J3016 Level 5,
