"Advanced Driver Assistance Systems to the Rescue! Sometimes…"
THURSDAY, april 20 | 11:15 a.m.
While various ADAS technologies have become ubiquitous in passenger vehicles, these systems' ability to avoid or mitigate vehicle crashes comes with necessary limitations. While many of these limitations are outlined in owner's manuals for ADAS-equipped vehicles, there remain many scenarios where a crash is completely unavoidable in spite of optimal performance from the system. By leveraging programmable, robotic, nondestructive vehicle test platforms, we can quantitatively and in a controlled repeated fashion demonstrate and investigate the limitations of these systems in increasingly realistic scenarios.
