EC’s White Paper or Artificial Intelligence – A European Approach sets guidelines to establish trust, promote AI and address high-risks AI applicatons Proposed legal requirements for high-risk AI applications-only for the future regulatory framework include: data training and record-keeping, human oversight, information provision when interacting with an AI system, robustness and accuracy EC’s approach is […]
Safety regulation, competition and consumer demand create opportunities for ADAS SuppliersADAS penetration is expected to rise significantly over the next 10 years, driven primarily by changes in NCAP’s safety rating scoring and lower cost of sensors or implementation, paving the way to Conditionally- Automated cars from 2021 (SAE Level 3) and eventually Fully-Automated Driving in […]
Uber under criticism for technology failure that marked the first fatality caused by a vehicle in Automated Driving mode; The suspension of testing operations in Arizona is a significant step back for Uber which puts its proprietary autonomy system at risk; Arizona government’s relaxed AV testing laws raise concerns but DOT confirmed there will be no […]
Today, the state’s Office of Administrative Law approved the regulations that would permit fully driverless testing. A public notice will go up on the DMV’s website on March 2nd, which starts a 30-day clock before the first permits can be issued on April 2nd.

Drivers will be able to experience Conditional automation (SAE Level 3) for the first time in 2018. But validation requirements and safety regulation will restrict customer availability- at least for the first half of 2018. SAE Level 3 systems combine enhanced levels of sensor redundancy and robustness to be able to control steering, braking and accelerating […]
Safety regulation is a major driver for the V2X market given its influence in the technology medium so that all vehicles speak the “same language”, and the associated infrastructure. With ITS-G5 (DSRC in the US) deployment and crucial supporting infrastructure being in their infancy, but substantial investment already scheduled for the coming years, today is […]
Deployment of higher levels of autonomy, SAE Level 3-5, is subject to national regulatory approval with inherent differences in the way regulation works in the USA versus Europe and China; USA’s approach to Autonomous Driving is key for harmonisation of safe and secure ADS testing and deployment but USA seems to follow a standalone policy to […]
