Emerging Aviation Technology: Autonomy with Lina Yang, Head of Intelligent Systems, Supernal
Urban air mobility (UAM) enables highly automated, cooperative passenger- or cargo-carrying air transportation services in and around urban areas. In order to increase the volume of UAM operation, the key is to understand and enable the “highly automation.” The highly automation does not just apply to vehicle automation but to whole ecosystems, including air traffic services (ATS). Lina Yang will discuss the building blocks necessary to enable high-density UAM operation in this talk.
Lina Yang heads the Intelligent Systems team at Supernal, overseeing everything from the simplified vehicle concept to a comprehensive autonomy solution and roadmap. Her approach to autonomy centers on the software-defined Vehicle. Moving from technology and automotive sectors to aviation was a seamless transition for her. In this new realm of the urban air mobility industry, Yang strategically addresses challenges within controlled airspace, driven by her visionary perspective on autonomy.
In fall 2024, the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute (CITRIS) at the University of California and the Institute for Transportation Studies (ITS) at UC Berkeley will present Charting New Paths, a series of distinguished lectures on transportation technologies at the intersection of aviation, climate, health and policy research.
Featuring experts from academia, government and industry, this series will illuminate challenges and opportunities in applying emerging innovations to combat climate change, transform urban mobility, improve public health and shape technology policy.
Join us, and join the conversation to help drive positive change and foster resilient, sustainable and equitable transportation systems for future generations.
Charting New Paths lectures will be held on Fridays from 3–4 p.m. in the Banatao Auditorium in Sutardja Dai Hall on the UC Berkeley campus.
Co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS).
Charting New Paths illuminates challenges and opportunities in applying emerging innovations to combat climate change, transform urban mobility, improve public health and shape technology policy. Free and open to the public, these seminars take place on Fridays from 3–4 p.m. PT in fall 2024.
