In this presentation IIHS will provide a briefing on the program’s overview and objectives.

The evaluations centre on the types of safeguards these systems ought to implement to help drivers fulfil their roles and understand their responsibilities when supported by the partial automation. The safeguard categories addressed in the program include driver monitoring, attention reminders, emergency escalation, cooperative steering, as well as responsible application of automation functionality. The program also addresses whether these L2 systems permit unsafe scenarios, such as disabling crash avoidance features or unbuckling of a driver’s seat belt.
