11. Automated vehicles... The non-technical stuff that
really gives policy makers a headache...

• Who is the boss in the car? -> Ethics
• Why don’t people buy the stuff? -> Societal support
• Hurry up, what’s the problem? -> Gardner Hype Cycle
• Does this generate social benefits or cost jobs? -> Societal benefits.
• Can my mother still use her oldmobile? -> Mixed traffic.
• Innovation vs road safety -> risc assessment.
• Etc etc.
Cars will change more the coming 10 years then the last 100 years.
Technically, these are support systems and hence always operated under the legislative radar... Whereas emenrgency functions always were bound to rules.
Conclusion: the car may control your window-wipers, your light-switch, your radio, climate, satnav, even your steering wheels and your gaspedal/break
... But ...Formally there is no transfer of control. You remain responsible.
Goals is NOT automated driving! Goals are safe, clean and flowing traffic.
How to inform drivers on these new systems?
Know that these systems exist (in your car, on your phone, etc)
Know how to use them safely.
New ways of approving technical systems. Not through technical demands but through driving exam-experiences?
All of us (OEMs, examiners and legislators alike) are learning by doing in this field.
Joining forces is needed to improve the (now imperfect) systems, and to improve the (now imperfect) legislation.
We foresee short term introduction of 3 use-cases
Pods (people movers at low speed without driver in vehicle)
Truck platoons
Highway autopilots
The last use case is the most relevant for CIECA (for now).

Driving task increasing using ADAS level 2?
If so, has the driving task increased so much that addition demands are needed?
Or are these just comfort systems, used at own risk?
If so, what do we do at level 3 and higher, where TOC is relevant?
Can drivers do other tasks?
