Our mission

robotTUNER

European type-approval for autonomous vehicles.

EU type-approval is limited to level 2. Adjustment of the EU Legislation

for level 3-5 will take approximately 10 years.

28 EU members have to agree.

How?

robotTUNER

Gerben Feddes (Program Manager Innovations) of the Netherlands Vehicle Authority ’RDW’ believes an ISO standard can accelerate European type-approval.

Gerben Feddes and Jorrit Kuipers initiated the project ‘Digital Driving License’.

The project’s goals:

• An international standard (ISO) methodology for assessment of autonomous vehicles.

• The first European driving license for an autonomous vehicle.

Basic principles of the ISO standard:

• Driving behavior is legally based on driving procedures.

• Human performance is reference for benchmarking.

3 PhD researchers of Delft University of Technology proved:

– behavior in a driving simulator is predictive for on road behavior

– virtual kilometers replace on road kilometers 1:1

– we increased the passing rate on driving exam with 34%

– we decreased human accident involvement with 59%

benchMARK observes an autonomous vehicle like a human examiner.

It uses the shape, deformation and velocity of bounding boxes for classification.

benchMARK can run as preprocess, life and postprocess.
