As increasing levels of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technology becomes mandatory, its effectiveness in reducing crash severity and frequency must be ensured throughout the life of the vehicle.
It is also important that the implementation of more advanced sensor and system technology does not result in unexpected negative consequences in terms of the cost and complexity of vehicle servicing and repair.
ADAS has been the first step on a long journey through assisted driving to the ultimate goal of Level 4 and 5 automated driving.
Our research agenda continues to enable the development of testing and benchmarking frameworks, along with other ways of quantifying and controlling risk, as technology and functionality progress.
