Most of us drive a car every day. Yet, surprisingly, some of the most important parameters related to vehicle motion, stability and safety, are not known. Basilio Lenzo talks about state estimation techniques applied to vehicle control that will significantly help to move vehicle safety forward, thereby reducing car accidents - which currently cause 1.2 million deaths per year. Basilio Lenzo, 33-year-old Mechanical Engineer (Università di Pisa), PhD (Università Sant'Anna).
He was R&D Engineer at Ferrari F1 (2010), and awardee of the MIT Young Innovators Under 35 Italy prize (2015). He was invited to give a TED talk at TEDxBergamo (2015) and to present his research work at the British Parliament (2018). He was Visiting Researcher at several institutions worldwide, including Columbia University (USA) and the German Aerospace Center DLR.
Since 2016 he has been a Senior Lecturer in Automotive Engineering with Sheffield Hallam University. His main research interests are: i) vehicle dynamics and control; ii) vehicle state estimation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
