SESSION DESCRIPTION AND AGENDA
In spite of many years of research, Safety Assurance of Automated Vehicles is still a field of action, discussion and harmonization in order to safely and efficiently introduce automated driving to public roads. The session will focus on progress and international exchange based on ongoing activities around the globe. It brings together relevant international experts on safety assurance and provides a platform to formulate the most urgent open questions and a research agenda.
The session builds on the international safety assurance discussions of the past years. The focus of this year is on methodology and safety assurance frameworks.
