New tests for autonomous vehicle type approval
RDW Netherlands presentation

Autonomous Vehicle Test & Development

Day 1 – 16:00 – Shifting legislation for automated vehicles
Gerben Feddes, senior advisor intelligent mobility, RDW, Netherlands
The RDW is the Netherlands vehicle authority. We face new challenges in the type approval of vehicles. New intelligent products also need to pass the type approval. But legislation is missing. We foresee new legislation: why have a complex admittance procedure when vehicles are ever changing? Is the type approval going to shift from admittance to in-use compliance? And is safety shifting from in-vehicle (e.g. ABS) to the interaction between vehicles (e.g. V2X)? The presentation gives an overview of new tests needed.

7 companies to launch driverless cars by 2020

New post on Nexyad-ADAS Solutions blog

NEXYAD Intelligence : trends of driverless cars in 2020

We already showed you when you will be able to buy a driverless car using predictions from research companies and futurists. Since that article was published in July, automakers have been announcing when they anticipate to release their driverless vehicles. This was mostly done to ride the viral wave after Google’s driverless car video was released. So, which company is going to be first to deliver an autonomous model to showrooms?

We’ve grouped companies into four categories:

1.Expected to launch a driverless car by 2020
2.Expected to launch a driverless car after 2020
3.Developing a driverless car, but no official launch date
4.No expected launch of a driverless car

NEXYAD made functional analysis of driverless car and focused on reliability and robustness. Then this high-tech SME (that already developed an autonomous vehicle in 2007 with other SMEs such as Induct, for the DARPA Challenge : team « Blue Froggie ») proposes software modules that may help (available for sale) :

RoadNex for Road Detection
ObstaNex for Obstacles Detection
VisiNex Onboard for Visibility Measurement
SafetyNex for Road Safety

NEXYAD is waiting for that since 2010 as they’ve been developing a module that measures in real time the risk of accident and then can help to prenvent from accident (car manufacturer application) and/or monitor the driver (insurance companies application). This module is called SafetyNex and is the only one that estimates road safety correlated to accident (tested, validated, proven).
