During the afternoon session, Dr Santiago Royo was invited to present the activity of “The European Technology Platform Photonics21”. His presentation is available online.
GTB President Geoff Draper introduced the subject of objective testing of ADB systems and led an exchange of views. We carried Draper’s special report earlier this month about the discussion that developed after the DVN US Workshop among a group of experts interested in exploring the feasibility of developing a whole-vehicle laboratory test for ADB systems that might address NHTSA’s rejection of the subjective aspects of the UN Regulations. Draper said (inter alia):
“The subject of gaining acceptance of ADB in the USA is a top priority for industry and, although NHTSA clearly acknowledges the safety benefit, the current approach to “real-world” testing of ADB systems is a very real threat to any progress. For this reason I believe that GTB must take advantage of its global membership and gather experts to quickly develop a whole-vehicle laboratory test for ADB systems. This is likely to require the input of experts who do not normally participate in the GTB working groups to address issues associated with the camera and image processing aspects of the ADB system.”
