Presentation

Regulations and consumer testing requirements in the EU for ADAS and AD and compared to the rest of the world

The deployment of ADAS in the European market is guided by legal and consumer requirements defined by local stakeholders. The General Safety Regulation defines mandatory requirements that urge for standard fitment of multiple ADAS in all new vehicles. And beyond the legal framework, Euro NCAP foresees complex safety and assisted driving systems, with a comprehensive roadmap until 2030. In parallel, other regions including China and US also have implemented specific programs and drafted very ambitious roadmaps. The presentation will review current and future requirements for ADAS applicable to the European and other international markets.

The audience will learn:

• List of legal requirements for ADAS and AD in Europe
• Overview of consumer requirements defined by Euro NCAP
• Comparison of ADAS and AD requirements in EU and other regions in the world
