Description

'Automatic driving: Is the automatic highway coming?'
Automation of the driving task has been talked about since the 1960s, with the supposed benefits of increasing comfort and safety. With the introduction of intelligent systems, cars have actually become safer. Moreover, in the past year, there were several experiments on public roads with cars driving almost fully automatic. So is the automatic highway coming? From a product perspective, Arie Paul will explain why partial automation is more realistic than fully automatic driving. He will also indicate the challenges in designing new cars (within this vision) and emphasise achieving desired comfort and acceptance. Arie Paul is Associate Professor of Industrial Design at the University of Twente and a researcher at the AIDA (Applications for Integrated Driver Assistance) institute. Prior to this, Arie Paul worked in the automotive industry for seven years
