 Let's put your hands together for for auntie and way and the team the slush team has put this amazing show together It's here for them. Thank you guys So I just want a quick shout out to my partner Aika Kumamoto for telling me about this opportunity at slush To auntie and way and the team for putting this together in the invitation. So I Absolutely love Japan. I love Tokyo and I'm here today to tell you about The the living room on wheels when cars become more than mere transport That's where I'm here to talk to you about and I'm also here to tell you a story about how the company I founded Clear Motion based out of Boston in the US Was inspired partly by a trip I made to Tokyo Back in 2011 on the Shinkansen train Who here we're all looking forward to autonomous cars We're all looking forward to getting into out of our apartment into an autonomous car going to Ji Chan's house Without anyone in the driver's seat, we're all looking forward to that I'm looking forward to that but I know for certain that The trip to Ji Chan's house in a autonomous car is not going to be what I needed to be Because of this situation here. This is a trip. I had in Manhattan just a couple days ago And as you can see here It's no Shinkansen experience Thumbs down. It's not so great Think about this for a second. We in cars every year the average human being spends approximately Seven working weeks behind the wheel of a car Let me repeat seven working weeks. We spend stuck driving cars every year That time seven working weeks is at best unproductive at worst nauseating we get motion sick and so we think about a world in which We're sitting in the car We're bored. We're unproductive. We're nauseous. We're unsafe And I think about a world of autonomy that the biggest single promise of autonomy other than the number of lives That it's going to save is the amount of time that it will unlock The productivity gain and autonomy that's coming to towards us. Okay, the Robo taxi business is not too far away This is a little picture. There's 22 billion hours that we waste in cars today Let's just assume 25 dollars an hour in In value and let's just make another assumption of 90% productivity. This is a Morgan Stanley assessment It's about a half a trillion dollars and wasted productivity that can be clawed back But the big assumption is 90% productivity Clear motion is a company that I found it out of my dorm room at MIT I was a student at MIT in 2009 and we were dreaming up crazy ideas about where the car industry was headed and autonomy wasn't really a thing back then but in 2011-2012 I happened to be in Manhattan. I happened to be experiencing roads like that Mobile I was a was an Israeli company filing to go public working on software for autonomous cars Uber had raised a very large amount of money and I said to myself what change is happening in the business of moving people I would love to be a part of this would love to play in the white space would like to make our mark on it and This was the vision of the company We want to build a product that improves the quality of time in the car and I want to actually just go right into What we've built So what we're going to show you here is the best cars in the world going over this bump strip Look at the human look at the driver behind the the wheel of the car And I want to show you the clear motion system the same car with our technology This is a five series BMW passive from the dealership and the same car with Most advanced systems in the world So there you have it In the event you have this problem that you need to solve you need to transport champagne So there you have it guys clear motion five years of work of my team and I in Boston Producing the world's first and only High bandwidth proactive ride system. So what you just saw there was a system that essentially Combines the best of two worlds the ultimate Sports vehicle the ultimate comfort vehicle and it takes two opposite worlds and puts them into one car and essentially how it does it is it Much like noise cancelling headphones cancel the noise going into your ears The system we've designed does the same exact thing for motion it cancels the unwanted motion going into a car and then when we talk about the living room on wheels we talk about the mobile office we talk about Billions and billions of hours that we're trying to bring back and make productive Our vision is that the clear motion system delivers that high-speed train experience that we all would love to have So a little history into the system. It was invented in formula one active ride. It was So incredibly good on formula one cars that it got banned in F1. This is the 1987 Lotus car driven by art and Senna And it was so family it's the system the vehicle was so fast in the corners. It was so It was so capable with the aerodynamics that the teams that had it were so much more competitive than the rest and the races were boring to watch after formula one invented the system in the 1980s all the Main auto manufacturers have been trying to push active suspension into the market for the last 30 years And so for reasons that follow in the that that that fall into the four following buckets The systems are too power-hungry the systems are too heavy the systems are too costly and ultimately even if they solve these problems They were very they were they were they were just not not not impressive enough We had clear motion sat down and said that the technology is so amazing When you get used to this product in a car and you drive a car with Proactive ride your body stops moving. It really really does feel like you're on rails and As I thought about the history and how many people have tried to do this. I Told my team we need to run towards the gunfire. We need to be able to make this system affordable and practical in production cars Now beyond driving cars the autonomous piece of this is really the holy grail and This is a picture from General Motors as you know There's a bit of a there's a bit of a battle going on in the u.s. Right now especially in San Francisco where the streets of San Francisco are completely replete with autonomous vehicle testing General Motors has listed out this priority stack Get me there safely table stakes Get me to exactly where I want to go table stakes and Thereafter get me there smoothly get me there cheaply give me there quickly and it entertained me so when we think about What all the autonomous guys are working on right now the first two pieces Clear motion we very much look forward to Piece number three, which is where we sit So a little window into how we've built this and how it works What you're looking at is the corner of a car clear motion lives in the suspension of a car And it completely it takes an analog relationship We have with the road and digitizes that relationship so that Software controls our relationship to the road and we have ourselves a an experience That's completely isolated from the road when we want connected to the road when we want The technology as I said was a was a was a brainchild of a late night Late night session in our dorm room a lot of great ideas happened to come out of dorm rooms Unfortunately, you know the team and I at MIT Had this idea to create a mini power pack that clips onto a damper and the damper becomes a computer controlled actuator that can push and pull much like noise-canceling headphones for motion And that's how the product looks like and it sits in the suspension of the car There are four of these in each car one at each corner and a little animation of how it works When we again look at how many people have tried to do this Many many decades many billions of dollars almost every single auto manufacturers have tried how do we? Five guys in a dorm room figure out how to square the circle. How do we figure out how to circumnavigate the challenges? We did that Thanks to a very very unique architecture that we call the clear motion active valve and this is inside that power pack Inside this guy if we were to open up that device on the side This is what it breaks down into in three main pieces the all the control electronics and control software the BLDC motor and on the right it's an electro hydraulic core This is the beating heart of what we've designed at at Clear Motion and Again when we think about the digit the really the foundation of autonomy the foundation is the digital chassis It's allowing software to control our relationship to the road It allows for the ultimate riding and driving experience. It allows for dynamics in the corners It allows for haptic feedback where it creak and create virtual rumble strips Ingress and egress for those who have difficulty getting into vehicles Mapping and localization This is now the new frontier for us as we move forward a Very very exciting thing. We've now started to develop in concert with a very large technology company Is the mapping of all road surfaces in the United States? We thanks to the high fidelity sensors that we have we're actually mapping the roads That we drive over and creating a virtual fingerprint of those roads So it turns out that if you go over that same segment of road We actually can pinpoint the location of the car very precisely based on the fingerprint of the road and so Think of it like Braille except for localization that there that the sense of touch is what we've introduced into Clear Motion if you were to remove GPS Remove vision remove LiDAR remove radar remove it all you still have the sense of touch to know where you are on a road surface at any given time and a little animation that we have here That that shows These two white lines down here are actually the the the contours of the road surface that are being measured The red is when we know we're in the vicinity of an event that's very distinct when you hit a pothole You hit a manhole cover you hit a bridge divider. It's very distinct and when you hit the green The green says boom. That's exactly where you are We know exactly where and we pin you know pinpoint the location of the vehicle This is a very important piece for autonomy localization simultaneous localization and mapping So put it all together we have the User experience that really is king for living room on wheels that everyone is going to come to expect that we can read We can work we can sleep we don't get motion sick and at the same time We're taking all of this data from the road surface pushing it into the cloud and using that As a topographical layer a very high fidelity layer of data to create high definition maps in X Of what we're what what what a lot of companies are doing right now and in the last couple minutes. I'll just close with You know some of our work here in Japan I spend I'm spending increasing and increasing amounts of time in Japan with really some amazing technology partners of ours was notably Bridgestone and We've created a broader vision now that goes beyond just You know right comforted right handling it now is from tire to human we want to create from tire to human this the the To really control that the new the neurological response of what we're feeling in the road and to do that All the way up from the road surface through the tire and into the human body And if you understand human physiology and human anatomy like we've gone to that extent We can all have a very exciting future to look forward to in autonomy again We think it's it's so important to take that analog relationship We have with the road today and digitized that and in order to digitize it. We need to be able to sense it We need to understand the path From input into human and we need to erase it Do for motion with noise cancelling headphones do for noise and that is a vision that we said about you know Five years ago if really just put our heads down pencil sharp trying to figure out how to make this in a commercially viable form employ 200 people in Boston to do this Raise the capital. It's it's really the it's really the startup story and it's really the grit It's the vision. It's the passion of a team of very capable people I'm very fortunate to work with every day and Partners that are are also just really outstanding. We cannot do this alone in the business of moving people We have to in the ecosystem of automotive the the what's happening in this I mean for those of you that are looking to participate in the change in automotive in the mobility. I Can tell you there's never been a more exciting. I mean, there's very few industries as exciting as automotive is what's happening today and And like I said, you know, it's all about the people. It's all about the partners and it's all about that vision That's crisp. It's clear We're all pulling on the same end of the rope and we look forward to participating and contributing our our piece of the story of What we're all about to enjoy so I want to just take one last minute here to thank you all again for your time your attention Thank you so much. Thank you to auntie and thank you to slush team for for having me very much I really appreciate it and wishing you guys all the best I look for I'll be here at slush for this afternoon So please come find me if any questions are interested in mobility and automotive. I'd love to talk to you Thank you so much guys. Thank you
