My presentation is on Tuesday, but it is time for opening ceremony for now. Will be live blogging… Stay tuned 
Alan Taub, Vice President, GM Global Research and Development, presents Chevy Volt. Spanking new? 
Not really, but his short presentation had a lot of common sense points, and was focused on tangible, rather than grand promises of future. One of the great pictures that he showed was a picture of 3 automated vehicles from 1950s! The vehicles still look pretty good.
Ignacio González-Domínguez, CEO, Telvent, comes out and gives a nice generic speech. Well rehearsed – I think he has given it a couple of times before.
Aah blue grass time. This must be the new kind of conference receptions – I am not used to them being that much fun.
Governor Rick Scott just came out and welcomed everyone and reminded us all of how nice the weather is here. I am definitely sold – DC has had a very wet fall – nice to enjoy the sun in Orlando. And of course, the Orange County Convention Center is a great venue.
Dance group – QUEST! Really, I am not used to that much fun during technical conferences. Or may be I am at the wrong venue?
Iteris president Abbas Mohades presents hall of fame awards. Great way to learn about some people who worked on ITS before it was ITS!
Finally, the Orlando’s Celebration Gospel Choir is wrapping up the event.
