New approaches for autonomous vehicle certification: a European perspective

Automated driving technology is developing at an unprecedented fast pace and a quick response is needed from regulators in order not to obstacle innovation and at the same time ensure the access to the market of safe automated vehicle (AVs). The introduction of innovative certification approaches is required to assess and verify AVs safety, complementing the conventional physical testing in order to ensure the vehicle safe performance in real life. The presentation will introduce the proposed EU method for automated driving , including audit of the manufacturer design/development process, verification through track and on-road testing, and operational feedback from real-life experience after market introduction.
