The Pop in Your Job – What drives you? Why do you love your job?
Autonomous driving fuels my passion for cutting-edge technologies that enhance safety, comfort, and efficiency in our fast-paced world. I'm driven by the goal of making driving safer, reducing accidents, and ultimately contributing to a better world. I dream of a future where I can simply press a button, let the car take over, and enjoy quality time with my family — whether it's watching a movie or playing cards — so that our vacation starts the moment we get in the car.
