This was a great seminar with some awesome insight into BMW’s use of technology in designing, building and testing their cars. Intel’s partnership with BMW was much appreciated as those of us who registered to drive the various BMW cars on the Autobahn track found out!
All in all it was great meeting people and finding out more about the Intel product roadmap, use of Vmware, etc. Kudos to Intel for sponsoring a world class event. Many thanks!
