As DVN’s founder and president, I personally and professionally wish you and your family, friends, and colleagues a prosperous and fulfilling 2019, brimming with new heights of creativity to keep lighting, driving-assistance, and driver-vision innovations top, front, and centre on the stage of automotive innovations.
And I extend those same good wishes to my friends and partners here at Driving Vision News, who are making such a wonderful job of it.
– Salomon Berner in France, Daniel Stern in Canada, Noam and Sarah our website managers, all of whom have been on the team with me since the beginning of DVN.
– B.Y.Chung, Kim, Serene, Catherine, and Patrice around the world;
– Jean-Paul Ravier and Jean-Paul Charret in France
– Ralf Schäfer and Leo in Germany
– Carine in marketing, Eve Taberna for the presentation of the documents, Robert Sitbon and Bill Pusztai for the photos and videos.
And all the engineers at automakers and suppliers, regulators, researchers, professors, and practitioners who share their thoughts and passion while carefully respecting confidentiality. DVN wouldn’t be nearly so good without these people’s contributions.
The main mission of DVN is to further and facilitate the interests of the lighting, driver assistance, and driver and vehicle vision community. The increasing number of Gold and Platinium members (140 at the end of the year), the number of Gold members (more than 1,000) and the number of interested lighting members (more than 2,000) at the end of the year, show that there is strong and increasing interest in networking, sharing ideas and technical information.
Onward and upward in 2019—together!
Sincerely yours
DVN President
