Unleashing the Potential of Autonomous Driving: A Conversation with Annie Lien
Annie started her career in UX and Machine Learning at Robert Bosch's Silicon Valley research center. During this time at Bosch Annie also moonlighted on the weekends as Team Leader of Team AnnieWay for DARPA Urban Challenge 2007, where AnnieWay was an “underdog” team with very little money, manpower, resources and time, and against all odds, successfully qualified as a Finalist for the DARPA race. Thereafter, at VW Group’s Silicon Valley innovation lab, Annie co-created and led companywide initiatives on USA Product, PR, Legal, and Governmental Affairs for Audi Autonomous Driving. After Audi/VW Annie spent 6+ years in the startup world of innovative solutions for self-driving cars and robotics automation; advised/consulted entrepreneurs, investors, auto OEMs, suppliers and other entities on autonomous driving; joined Toyota’s Silicon Valley lab; and briefly co-led Hexagon’s Autonomous Solutions group. Today, Annie is excited about her current journey as Deputy CEO at VinAI.
