Main Day Two Agenda - 12th September 2024

•  Details on testing and approval methodologies to validate systems
• Learn whether you need qualitative or quantitative documentation.
• For quantitative validation approaches, understand how to derive the ultimate acceptance criteria.  
• Lessons learned on how to deal with the challenge of safety validation.
• Understand how validation approaches differ for L2 vs. L3 vs. L4

Making a system that has no risk is impossible. There is always going to some residual risk.

• Learn how to create an overall safety argumentation that deals with all types of risk.
• Establishing risk benchmark.
• Establishing what is considered acceptable risk.

This presentation sees a homologation expert take stage and shares details on the whole framework behind legalising automated functionalities in vehicles that can be driven on the road.

• Find out how to approach the approval process from the perspective of the regulatory body.
• Understand how the regulatory body decides the exact requirements for deployment.
• Discuss what data and tests need to be supplied by the OEM in order to meet the homologation requirements.
• Hear details on what major OEMs with L3/L4 capabilities needed to submit to gain approval for new vehicles.
• Learn which regulation is optimum for which manoeuvre.
• Learn how homologation roadmaps differ between Europe, US, and China.

• Find out what it means to make the move from real-time to simulated data.
• Understand what measures you need to take to make the move from real-world data to simulated data.
• What is the impact of this on the toolchain and what does it mean for the whole environment.

Discussion points:

• Who will be responsible if anything goes wrong – does the liability rest with the customer or does the OEM have to take responsibility?
• How will we cover corner cases from a liability, ownership, and responsibility point of view?
• If the liability is going to shift towards the customer, will the OEM then be able to put more and more feature in the vehicle and reduce the cost?
• If liability and ownership of failure comes towards the OEM, will the car maker need to add more redundancy features, similar to an aircraft? 
• Debate when acceptance rate is shifting, and whether customers want better car at a cheaper price, or they want a safer car at a little higher cost.
• Will automakers need to sacrifice cost or quality? 

• Learn how level 3 systems can be adapted to level 4 and the approval process for this.
• Examine L3 corner cases and challenges OEMs are encountering when making the leap from level 3 to level 4.
• Understand which sensor set is necessary to achieve safe level three or level four system in every conditions.

This presentation will focus on automated driving test sites in Europe, Canada and the US, with profiles of Mcity (US), Area X.O, Area 55, and Kapuskasing (all in Canada), the six CAM Testbed UK sites, ZalaZone in Hungary, and other sites.

Take a seat in the audience and explore their key characteristics and profiles, and explore the role of physical testing in autonomous vehicle deployment.

• Understand similarities and differences between software stacks for level 3, 4 and 5.
• Discussion on the topic of fail operation on level 4.
• Idea sharing on how OEMs are making provisions for level 4 and level 5.
