Unprecedented automotive & mobility sector disruption through technology

… The nature of risk is changing.

• Telematics • ADAS • Increasing automation • Driverless vehicles • Machine learning & AI • Over the air updates • Electric & ULEV

• E-call OEM & retrofit • On-board cameras • Driver monitoring • Event Data Recorder • Connected vehicles, IoT • Mobility-as-as-service

Driver behaviour Autonomy ADAS Telematic Data

Understanding and mitigating risk

• a fundamental shift in risk is emerging from the driver to the vehicle • Key questions

• how technology mitigates existing risks • new risks - unintended consequences

Benefits of automation

Gain in productivity

Democratization of mobility

Fewer traffic jams and less waiting time at intersections and lights 80% improvement in traffic throughput

Higher fuel efficiency

Reduced congestion

90% of all accidents caused by human errors Reduction in motor vehicle accident rates

Synchronized traffic flow 23 to 39% improvement in highway fuel economy

Time in transit becomes more productive 56 minutes per day freed up for other uses (US)

Over-65 segment growing 50% faster than overall population Allow a variety of age ranges to be mobile

Improved safety


GATEway project overview

MOVE_UK Accelerating the development and testing of automated driving systems

• Automated driving - highly complex process • Integration of sensors, data, processing & control systems • Requires extensive validation to ensure reliability • All reasonable real world driving situations.

Methods: • Automated Driving Systems in silent mode • Driven in normal duties by RBG drivers • Driving events identified • High resolution data captured and upload • Maximize high resolution data for relevant events • Events form evaluation scenarios • Create scalable validation and approval methods • Accelerate ADS development and deployment • Evidence base for regulation and policy development • Independent validation processes for ADS
