Dr. Oktay Arslan - AI in Aviation, Aerospace and Autonomous Driving

AI in Aviation, Aerospace and Autonomous Driving is an exciting dialogue led by Lauren Hawker Zafer and Dr. Oktay Arslan. The conversation is for all of us who have spent their time wondering about the minds that work on the world's most renowned automation systems and want to take an exclusive dive into the realms and challenges of automation at NASA and TESLA.

Dr. Arslan is a well-recognised academic whose research has focused on planning, machine learning and computer vision for robotic systems and autonomous vehicles. He was a Staff Autopilot Software Engineer at Tesla Inc and contributed to the development of autopilot software; namely behaviour planning, path planning and controls for Tesla’s Model 3, S, X cars. He implemented the traffic-aware lane change and merging behaviours in navigate-on-autopilot feature, as well as the path planner for smart summon feature.
