Meet the expert | The route to safe automated driving

Automated driving poses new challenges to safety assessment. TNO explains which safety concepts are still valid and which need to be extended. ​Meet Olaf op den Camp (TNO), Henk Goossens (TNO) and Mikael Ljung Aust (Volvo Cars).

Standards and regulations for safety assurance of automated driving sometimes create more questions that answers. TNO provides a deeper insight into the key aspects of the most relevant standards and regulations. Meet Hiroki NAKAMURA of Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI), Olaf op den Camp and Erwin de Gelder​ (TNO).

Automated vehicles should drive like a competent and attentive human driver, which includes a social and responsible driving style. TNO clarifies how driver behaviour can be assessed with respect to perceived safety. Meet Olaf op den Camp (TNO), Jeroen Hogema (TNO), Espedito Rusciano (European Commission JRC) and Sjoerd Houwing (Dutch Central Office for Motor Vehicle Driver Certification).

AI is a very powerful solution for complex tasks in an automated vehicle. The safety and system engineering challenges for vehicles with AI components are however still an open question. TNO illuminates the underlying issues and the direction for solutions. Meet Jan-Pieter Paardekooper (TNO) and Riccardo Dona (European Commission JRC).
