Autonomous Driving? Safely! – Safety Evidence in Development and Approval from a Metrological Perspective

Four years after the autonomous driving law came into force, the approval of autonomous vehicles according to a "European value canon" — encompassing data protection and vehicle safety — remains a significant hurdle on the path to widespread adoption. This presentation examines the challenges and opportunities for establishing consistent, traceable, and at the same time rapid and efficient safety evidence in both real and virtual environments, viewed through the lens of metrology.
