<div class="">
<div class="">The Eye, The Brain and The Auto 2018, the 8th World Research Congress on Vision and Driving to be held October 7-9, 2018 at the Motor City Casino Hotel, Detroit, Michigan will be the first major meeting in the United States on the relationship
between autonomous vehicle technology and health care. The purpose of the Congress is to explore the role that this “disruptive technology” will ultimately play in health care. In-vehicle sensing systems have the ability to gather data of critical importance
to health and wellness, and in addition will provide transportation accessibility to those who do not drive because of medical and functional conditions. We are also inviting abstracts addressing the more general topic of the role vision plays in driving.</div>
