Today we talk with Diana Toda and Oana Niculescu from HELLA's DigiLab. The duo dive into really interesting topics around process simplification, digitalization tools and continuous improvement. They share some of things that their team is working on that help position HELLA as a world wide technology leader both with products but also internal processes. In our conversation, we answer questions like what is an RPA? Are we talking actual robots? How intricate are these bots? Do they really make an impact on the business?

Today we talk with Jerry Quandt, the Executive Director for the Illinois Autonomous Vehicle Association. Jerry shares his interesting perspective on connected autonomous vehicles and how it will change the landscape of mobility. We talk about how AVs extend further than city driving, they already exist in Mining, Farming and rural environments. We answer questions like how is automated driving making a difference in more than just getting someone from home to their job? What is barrier-free mobility and how can this completely change the way we look at mobility? Truly, are the possibilities endless when it comes to changing lives with AVs?

Today we talk with Mathias Niedling from HELLA's L-Lab. Mathias shares his insight on some technologies that they are working on. Some of these technologies include connected lighting and how lighting impacts more than you think. HELLA works with students at local universities, to bring new ideas for research and development. Mathias answers questions about connected lighting technologies and how that changes the landscape of how energy is used in an EV. Can headlamps work with cameras? how does more efficient lighting increase safety in more than one way? Are we really talking about holography?
