Uber Senior Technical Product Manager Steven Choi Announced as International Fleet Academy Keynote

NAFA announces a terrific addition to the packed International Fleet Academy (IFA) agenda. Steven Choi, Senior Technical Product Manager, Uber ATG, will provide the keynote presentation for the pre-conference event. The IFA takes place on April 23, one day before the opening of NAFA's Institue & Expo in Anaheim, Calif.

Choi's presentation, How “Machine Learning” Will Lead the Future of Fleet Autonomy and Mobility, will astound attendees who are coming to grips with the vast advances taking place in fleet and mobility management. As the era of “machine learning autonomy” rapidly approaches, the role of fleet management will be definitively impacted. Choi will discuss how Uber positions itself in this era. What does the approach of autonomy mean to the fleet industry and how can a safety-first emphasis be preserved?

Choi's work focuses on machine learning and autonomy at Uber ATG, the firm’s autonomous cars and trucks unit. His team mission is to build out a fully autonomous system that works across the fleet. Prior to Uber ATG, Choi had 15-plus years of experience in autonomous system development at Google X and Northrop Grumman, building autonomous systems for vehicles, drones, and satellites. He also worked at Intel and AT&T and attended University of Illinois Urbana Champaign and University of Southern California.
