Special Interest Session SIS 10: Complex Self Driving Field Operational Tests using evolved IT Infrastructure

Kurzfassung

Field Operational Tests (FOTs) are being used to evaluate complex safety-relevant functions of self-driving vehicles using sensor Fusion and SLAM technologies supported by evolved digital infrastructure. These FOTs are designed to assess the impact of the next Generation IT infrastructure including cloud and mobile-edge computing, IoT and enhanced connectivity through next generation mobile networks. New types of data from IoT-connected heterogeneous sensors and bigger datasets, provided and managed by complex cloud and mobileedge infrastructure, raise novel challenges. FOTs also play an important role in evaluating new business models and issues such as data privacy and liability that are central to self-driving. In this session, experts will present how Field Operational Tests handle some of These complexities and answer some interesting questions: How far can the current FESTA be used for FOTs? How does big data contribute to self-driving evaluation? How must user experience be considered in self-driving vehicles?
