Today, well-established assistance systems, such as lane keeping assistance, electronic stabilization programs or collision warning systems, have already led to reduced accident figures. Efforts to improve the sensors and expand the range of automated driving features are facilitating the next step toward semi-automated driving. One of AVL‘s main focuses is on the development and optimization of driver assistance systems and their integration into the complete vehicle. AVL pays particular attention to the involved people and, especially, to the topic of perceived safety. Right now, AVL is conducting test drives on its own proving ground in order to test and assess functions such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and overtaking and braking assist systems. In a few years‘ time, socalled „highway pilots“ will come into use, which will enable autonomous driving from highway entrance to exit. This means that, for the first time ever, fully autonomous driving will be possible on certain routes. As a reliable technology partner to OEMs, AVL makes important contributions to the further development of driver assistance systems, aiming at a dramatic reduction in the number of accidents, and thereby raising road safety significantly.
