Main Day Two Agenda - 12th September 2024

•  Details on testing and approval methodologies to validate systems
• Learn whether you need qualitative or quantitative documentation.
• For quantitative validation approaches, understand how to derive the ultimate acceptance criteria.  
• Lessons learned on how to deal with the challenge of safety validation.
• Understand how validation approaches differ for L2 vs. L3 vs. L4

Making a system that has no risk is impossible. There is always going to some residual risk.

• Learn how to create an overall safety argumentation that deals with all types of risk.
• Establishing risk benchmark.
• Establishing what is considered acceptable risk.

This presentation sees a homologation expert take stage and shares details on the whole framework behind legalising automated functionalities in vehicles that can be driven on the road.

• Find out how to approach the approval process from the perspective of the regulatory body.
• Understand how the regulatory body decides the exact requirements for deployment.
• Discuss what data and tests need to be supplied by the OEM in order to meet the homologation requirements.
• Hear details on what major OEMs with L3/L4 capabilities needed to submit to gain approval for new vehicles.
• Learn which regulation is optimum for which manoeuvre.
• Learn how homologation roadmaps differ between Europe, US, and China.

We’re giving you the opportunity to take a front-row seat in the audience and learn how a leading OEM has dealt with the complex homologation process, focusing on the end-to-end journey to deployment. Hear them share details on:

• How they coped with regulations and delta homologation.
• How they did a full homologation for each software update.
• Which criteria was taken into consideration ahead of the homologation process.
• Which tests, data and procedures needed to be summitted.  

• Find out what it means to make the move from real-time to simulated data.
• Understand what measures you need to take to make the move from real-world data to simulated data.
• What is the impact of this on the toolchain and what does it mean for the whole environment.

• Understand what it means to calculate coverage over enormous databases, including both real world and simulated data.
• Understand how to effectively handle and analyse huge amount of real and simulated data; What are the interesting aspects you need to look into.
• Determine which data is safety-critical and which is performance-relevant.
• Learn how to interoperate between tools and can create scenario in one simulation and platform and take it to another simulation platform.

Discussion points:

• Who will be responsible if anything goes wrong – does the liability rest with the customer or does the OEM have to take responsibility?
• How will we cover corner cases from a liability, ownership, and responsibility point of view?
• If the liability is going to shift towards the customer, will the OEM then be able to put more and more feature in the vehicle and reduce the cost?
• If liability and ownership of failure comes towards the OEM, will the car maker need to add more redundancy features, similar to an aircraft? 
• Debate when acceptance rate is shifting, and whether customers want better car at a cheaper price, or they want a safer car at a little higher cost.
• Will automakers need to sacrifice cost or quality? 

• Learn how level 3 systems can be adapted to level 4 and the approval process for this.
• Examine L3 corner cases and challenges OEMs are encountering when making the leap from level 3 to level 4.
• Understand which sensor set is necessary to achieve safe level three or level four system in every conditions.

• Discussion on the topic of fail operation on level 4.
• Idea sharing on how OEMs are making provisions for level 4 and level 5.
