  17. Requirements and key technologies for CAVsSummary of sensor requirements for future functions Required sensors for front application depending on automation level • SOA: Sensors for covering the area in front of the vehicle 360° perception requires additional sensors. • Research and industry projects show that Level 4/5 systems require third sensor type as e.g. laser scanner. • Open issues for environment perception: • Unstructured environments (Urban area, construction site) • Obstacles on the road • Determination of road condition • Reliable perception independent of weather and environment conditions • Self estimation of sensor capabilities Multi focal camera + Radar + Laser scanner Stereo camera + Radar + Laser scanner (+ wide angle camera) Multi focal camera + Radar + Laser scanner Stereo camera + Radar (+ wide angle camera) Multi focal camera + Radar Mono camera + Radar Sensors Stereo camera Multi focal camera Mono camera Sensor redundancy required SOA: Radar Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Conclusion • SOA: Perception of single objects (vehicles, pedestrians) and distances/velocities to obstacles, typically radar and camera applied in vehicle front • Future: Full scene understanding for 360° surrounding of vehicle, required for automated driving (SAE Level 3-5)Multiple sensors around the vehicle, sensors using different measurement principle.

  19. Requirements and key technologies for CAVsRequirements regarding driver monitoring Status-quo Future requirements • Driver must monitor the driving task and the driving environ-mentat all times and is prepared to take-over full control immediately if necessary • Requirement regarding driver monitoring:Is the driver still in the control loop and able to intervene? • Required technologies: • Driver does not needtomonitorat all timesorduringdefinedusecase. Driver must beabletoresumecontrolifrequestedorwhensystemlimitsarereached. • Requirements regarding driver monitoring:Is the driver in the right state in order to take-over the driving task? • Is the driver under- or overstimulated? • Driver state estimation • Driver performance estimation • Required technologies: Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Eye tracking(eyegaze, lidmovement) Driver‘scondition/healthmonitoring(e.g. heart rate) Driver‘spositionmonitoring(e.g. cameras) Capacitivesensorsin steeringwheel /Torquemeasuring Driver behaviour(e.g. steeringwheelmovement) Directdrivermonitoring(infrareddetectors)

  20. Requirements and key technologies for CAVsDesign of take-over situations (Level 3 functions) Investigation of take-over times in level 3 Take-over times: • Level 3 plays a special role regarding the driver-vehicle-interaction, because the driver can temporarily step out of the driver-vehicle control loop in specific applications and can perform secondary tasks. • For all other use-cases, a take-over of the driving task must be designed • The take-over is subdivided into four • phases (Orientation, preparedness for action,execution of actions, vehicle stabilization). • Actual research indicate an average needed time period of 2,2-5,0s for the first three phases. • For the fourth phase an additional time period of 5 to 10 s is reported. • The times are dependant on a multitude of factors (e.g. type of the secondary task, complexity of the driving task, type and concept of the feedback). • The factors „preceding period of highly automated ride“ and „tiredness of the driver“ has not yet been examined. With ika-involvement this is part of the currently performed research project FAT. A critical point is that the range of vehicle sensors today can not cover this prediction horizon. Therefore a system of classification level 3 should actually be technically based on a system of classification level 4.

  21. Requirements and key technologies for CAVsRequirements regarding ECUs Single function ECU Integrated ECU Vehiclecomputer CentralizedECU Description • Traditional approach:Each ADAS function has itsown ECU • Suppliers often provide combination of sensors, ECU and software • Merging of ECUs, integration of different ADAS functions into one ECU • Realization of Centralized Domain Control Units • Integration of key ADAS / AD functions into one single ECU • Fusion of all environment sensor signals and external data, decoupling of HW and SW • Fusion of all ECUs in on centralized and powerful ECU • Combination of multicore CPUs and GPUs for artificial intelligence and deep learning Functions /Examples Radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control and Emergency Brake Assist Integration of safety-relevant ADAS functions into one ECU Audi zFAS: ADAS functions,Automated Parking, L3-Traffic jam assistance nVidia Drive PX Pegasus: Enablesdetectionofobjectsoverdeepneuralnetworks Series production(since 1990s) Series production(since 2010) Series production(since 2017) Development (already applied in test vehicles) Status • Key challenges: Higher performance & integration level, reduction of system costs, increase of reliability over lifetime • Safety and Security: Realization of redundancy for safety-critical functions, end-to-end security, hardware virtualization • Updateability: Possibility to add new functions during vehicle production cycle or during vehicle lifecycle (e.g. OTA-updates) • OEM focus: Sensor fusion and environment model will become core competence of OEMs, definition of semiconductor requirements

  24. Summary – Challenges and opportunities for automotive playersOutlook – Possibledevelopmentpathsfor CAVs • Implications • Alternative development paths for CAVs • Besides an evolutionary development path, CAVs could also follow an revolutionary path – and possibly threaten established automotive players: • Emergence of new key players, value networks and ecosystems • Coverage of new customer require-ments: basic and low-cost mobility with high flexibility of usage • Creation of a new market: Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) instead of vehicle ownership • Implementation of new business mo-dels: e.g. driverless taxis, driverless inner-city logistics • The established automotive players are predominantly following an evolutionary development approach towards CAVs • However, driverless vehicles have the potential for disruptive innovation by addressing completely new needs and markets • Automotive players should continuously monitor the activities of new players and claim their position within the ecosystem

  25. Summary – Challenges and opportunities for automotive playersNew business opportunities for the automotive industry Challenges and opportunities for OEM Challenges and opportunities for suppliers Challenges and opportunities for new entrants • OEM-internal development of competencies in the field of software, algorithms, machine learning etc. • OEM have to decide upon vertical integration (make-or-buy) and market-entry strategies for CAVs • Potential to realize new business models and exploit new profit pools (mobility-related services) • Emergence of a new competitive landscape with strong players (financial and know-how) • Potential to extend value chain focus with new value chain activities (e.g. SW/HW development) • Redefinition of collaboration model with OEM based on definition of key competencies • Potential to acquire new customers within new entrants without automotive background • Potential to disrupt existing mobility offers and to unlock significant market volume • Leverage existing know-how in the fields of software and hardware development • Lack of competencies regarding “traditional” automotive components and systems • Validation and development process of IT industry only partly applicable for CAV development
