The roadmap for EV braking is well advanced, but as the number of autonomous vehicles increases, the redesign of self-driving vehicle braking systems is an area that needs further evaluation. An EV does not challenge the brake architecture and the basic structures of braking systems as much as the autonomous operation of a car does.
The need for an AV brake system design that provides redundancy and safe operation is critical for both industry and user safety. What are the approaches to brake system design and architecture for autonomous vehicle applications?
This article features insights from James Fash, Senior Manager - Advanced Chassis Design at Zoox, who explains:
- What architectural layout has been working for autonomous vehicle applications
- How to re-architect the braking systems for autonomous vehicle applications, with the target for doing so in the next 10 years in mind
- The impacts that must be considered to ensure functionality and safety (including how cold weather, cold climate, and higher speed).
James is speaking at the 7th Automotive Braking Systems USA 2023.
