At this event, you can expect to participate in discussions on:
- Importance of Seatbelts & Crash Statistics (including CIREN)
- Modeling of all Occupants (including shape models)
- Submarining and Belt Routing (including platform geometry)
- Adaptive and Optimal Restraints and Occupant Sensing (including emerging technologies)
- WAYMO Experience (2–5pm)
- Stapp Welcome Reception (5:30–7:30pm)
There will be several engaging subject matter experts to kick off the sessions and lead subsequent group discussions. Lunch will be provided.
