Questions

What will change with the introduction of driverless vehicles?

Do we drive this change?

Driven by:

When will the technology be available?

Driven by:

Building blocks for automation already available

Automatic transmission systems

Electronic stability control Electronic power steering Adaptive Cruise Control Autonomous emergency

braking Electronic Stability Control Lane Departure Avoidance Lane Keeping Assist

Automatic Emergency Braking

Blind spot Monitoring Pedestrian Detection Fatigue Alert Night Vision Speed Sign Recognition Automated parking ……… Not: connectivity

Where does Australia fit

Australians recorded the highest positive public attitudes towards driverless cars – 62%

Early adopters of innovations and new technologies

Well-regarded internationally for being at the cutting edge of innovation

More young people without a drivers license

Driven by:

What is a driverless vehicle?

A driverless vehicle is a fully connected and automated vehicle that replaces the human driver in the management of all dynamic driving tasks.

Driven by:

5 levels of automation

Level 0: No automation

Level 1: Driver assistance

Level 2: Partial automation

Level 3: Conditional Automation

Level 4: High Automation

Level 5: Full Automation

Driven by:

Why driverless vehicles?

The Potential Benefits

~90 % reduction in crashes

30% productivity improvement for drivers

Accessibility and mobility for disadvantaged

Reduced congestion and reduced emissions

Creation of flexible and adaptive public transport services

Increased economic competitive-ness to stimulate the Australian industry

Improved air quality and other environment benefits

30% productivity

improvement for drivers

Accessibility and mobility for disadvantaged

Reduced congestion and

reduced emissions

Creation of flexible and

adaptive public

transport services

~90 % reduction in

crashes

Increased economic

competitiveness to stimulate the

Australian industry

Improved air quality and

other environmental

benefits

Driven by:

Options to improve road safety

Without technology:– Improve road network

– Rationalise speed limits

– Enforcement (speed, RBT, etc.)

– Rethink our cities

– Resolve distraction issues

The human factor

Driving is a Complex Activity: route finding route following velocity control collision avoidance rule compliance vehicle monitoring

Vehicle automation is not yet 100% reliable in performing all driving activities.

Challenges

No car manufacturing in Australia Australia is fragmented, with states competing Limited budget available:

– Queensland– Victoria– RAC WA– Industry

Insufficient harmonisation:– Legislation– Design practices (traffic control devices, etc.)

The Tesla crash

Is it ethical that the whole world is talking about it and that all details, including personal details, are shared publicly?

Or is this how it should be with every single fatal crash, like in aviation?

Driven by:

The Tesla crash: some observations

A level 2 automated car was driven like a level 3 automated car.

Learning by doing is part of the deployment process.

Is it acceptable that machines could cause a fatal accident?
