Date and Time: Tuesday, July 11, 2023: 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Boris van Waterschoot
Senior Advisor Human Factors and Automated Driving, Dutch Road Authority (Rijkswaterstaat, RWS)
Presentation Description
It remains unclear how authorities should assess the safety of ADS and what corresponding metrics and information should be generated by the ADS V&V processes for supporting the assessments. Although recent regulations from UNECE provide preconditions for the arrival of ADS, relevant criteria are not yet available to determine the safety aspect. This session introduces various positions on this topic, offering the perspectives and the opinions of the authorities, and will contrast them with the opinion of ADS and solutions providers.
