Scope and Key Observations of the White Paper Vehicle Compliance

• Great need for all automotive stakeholders to work together to create guiding principles and standardized tests for the entire life cycle of CAVs - to gain social acceptance and trust
• Lack of global harmonization of standards, regulations and approaches regarding testing and evaluation methods for CAVs in service (US-EU-CHINA)
• Recommendations for what tests should be conducted and how they should be conducted for CAVs in service over lifecycle (ensuring ADAS/AD functionality and testing efficiency)
• Need to a harmonized categorization and risk-based handling of software-updates of CAVs in service
• High potential of V2X technology that will enable a vehicle to communicate with appropriately equipped vehicles, traffic signals, road signs etc. – establishing of standards and investments in infrastructure are key success factors
• Lack of availability of safety-relevant vehicle, ADAS/AD and infrastructure data for third parties for performing appropriate compliance test (risk of international data regulation patchwork)
• Continuous security assessments over the whole life-cycle of CAVs

Key Questions of the webinar

• What are the guiding principles for proving the operational safety and regulatory compliance of CAVs throughout the entire cycle in real-world operation? 
• How can cooperation among the entire automotive sector, from OEM to supplier start-up companies, be achieved to define standardized testing methods for a whole life compliance approach of CAVs?
• Consideration of the impact and challenges caused by software-updates in the vehicle‘s life-cylce.
