Andrea Conti grew up in Rome
and knows all about the hectic traf-
fic in the Italian capital. That’s why
he’s keen to see Advanced Driver
Assistance Systems (ADAS) or Au-
tonomous Driving (AD) work per-
fectly, not only on test routes or in
countries with particularly order-
ly traffic, but also in traffic situa-
tions that tend to be more complex.
“Countries like India would be a
good example,” he says.
As Vice President, Conti leads the
global business development of the
ADAS/AD area, which, according
to McKinsey, is a key driver in au-
tomotive software. With around
450 ADAS/AD specialists world-
wide, AVL advises not only estab-
lished OEMs on special issues, but
also the new players in the vehicle
market who aim to integrate their
product into an automotive envi-
ronment or who require specific
concepts for the safety or quality
of their vehicle systems.
Whether overtaking, braking, ac-
celerating, or changing lanes, the
semi-autonomous or autonomous
functions are considered at AVL
