Presentation

Challenges to address verification and validation of AD / ADAS - a Tier 1 perspective

In this presentation, we will oversee the main challenges ahead for the validation & verification of autonomous driving systems. In the top-down phase of the development, we start with a list of the functionality and the global ODD objective of the system. This phase, qualified as “design”, helps in refining and defining the intended use of the system and to divide it into unitary functions easier to design and to understand. In the bottom-up phase, there is no unified and formal solution to prove the completeness of the validation process. Therefore, we will give an insight into existing methodologies, frameworks and finally show the status of regulation of ADS at European and International level.
