Automotive

Our research to support the safe introduction of autonomous vehicles covers underlying technical research and work from demonstrators on areas such as sensors and shared control.

This section pulls together all the research taking place in the automotive domain. It also highlights cross-domain work which will be of use to those working in the automotive domain.

Where possible, a lot of the guidance we publish is intentionally developed to be suitable for use in any domain. You will therefore find key pieces of research below that are suitable for those working in any sector.

Demonstrators

A number of AAIP-funded industry projects are in the automotive domain. These are shown below. We have funded projects in a number of other domains and you can also view all of the AAIP-funded demonstrator projects.

Latest research papers

Here are the most recent papers based on research in the automotive domain. You can also view all of our research papers.

Body of Knowledge guidance

You can access a number of entries in the Body of Knowledge related to the safety assurance of autonomous vehicles below. The guidance in the Body of Knowledge is often generalised, enabling you to learn from research undertaken in other domains. You can also access all Body of Knowledge Guidance.

  • 1.1.2 - defining the operating environment
  • 1.1.3 - defining operating scenarios
  • 1.2 - identifying hazardous system behaviour
  • 1.2.1 - considering human/machine interactions
  • 3.2 - mitigating potential deviations
