Key takeaways of this session will include:

  • What standards are, how they differ from regulations, and how standards positively impact our world.

  • Understanding the standards work that has been done, and is being worked on today, within the equipment manufacturing industry in terms of autonomy.

These insights allow members to stay informed in their navigation of industry standards surrounding autonomy, and how to get involved in key work surrounding the subject.

Autonomous equipment is a developing technology that OEMs continue to advocate for today. This technology intends on creating a safer working environment for workers, improving productivity, and reducing the need for consumable resources. To enhance the safety, user experience, and efficiency of autonomous equipment, the off-road industry utilizes the industry consensus standards development process.
