On October 9, 2017 WAJ joined forces with the Autotech Council for an event in the epicenter of innovation that brought together leaders from the auto and tech worlds to examine not only the future of cars but also how technology is transforming transportation. The event, Silicon Valley Reinvents the Wheel (SVRTW) featured engaging discussions on topics including next-generation powertrains and fuels, 21st Century automotive ownership, HMI, deep learning, connected and self-driving technology.
The annual Science Fair allowed car makers and their vendors and suppliers to promote their own innovations and brainstorm ways they can be adapted for new products and services in mobility. It was open to WAJ automotive journalists along with tech, lifestyle and local media and there were more than 300 influential attendees including OEMs, suppliers, developers, startups, investors, educators, recruiters and journalists.
