What’s next for self-driving vehicles?

1 minute read

With the advent of ‘automated’ or ‘self-driving’ vehicles, a new paradigm is being created requiring entirely new types of tests for the systems which are replacing the human driver. One key challenge arising from this is the reliance on a range of sensors for safety critical applications in CAV. 

At The Turing Lecture Where next for self-driving vehicles? on 27 September, NPL will be demonstrating the work we are undertaking, in collaboration with Met Office and on behalf of Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, to design a usable and reliable framework for understanding how well sensors perform in different weather-related conditions, including when the sensors cannot be relied upon.
