The industry veteran to spearhead StradVision’s continuous growth in the EU

StradVision has announced the appointment of a new General Manager for their office in Munich. The South Korean firm – the industry leader in AI-based perception software for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicles (AV) – recruited Andreas vom Felde, Ph.D., as their European GM.

With Dr. vom Felde on board, StradVision aims to expand its pipeline of European ADAS & AV projects from level 2 to 4, taking its fleet of vehicles past the 9 million mark.

When the Munich office – which will act as a regional EU office – was announced in March, vom Felde expressed his excitement at the burgeoning opportunity it presents: “We will aggressively expand our footprint in the entire EU, as there are multiple production projects incoming in the near future, and this local presence will provide those projects with the much needed on-site support. Our primary goal is to bring the most reliable and safe ADAS & AV solutions to Europe in the most economic and accessible fashion, and our new German office will help us achieve that.”
