Plenary Talk 1: Challenges Facing ADAS and CAV from a Validation Perspective.
Monday (13th August 2018), 14.00-14.30, Room 409
Future consumers will increasingly demand automated driving functions. Validating these functions by current methods is complex and costly, and probably unrealistic for SAE level 4 or 5 systems. This presentation explains the test and validation problems presented by automation, and explores how they might be overcome by alternative approaches.
