Find out what highlights you can expect during the day, listen to the welcome speech of our event chair, learn how you can optimally use the features of our hybrid event environment, and let’s start Day 1!

After an insightful & productive day full of presentations & discussions from the industry, our event chair concludes the first event day with a short summary of the most important insights from the sessions.

• How do rule-based and AI-based algorithms compare in unstructured or unpredictable environments?
• What methods best ensure transparency and traceability in AI-driven safety decisions?
• How scalable are simulation and formal verification for validating edge-case behavior?
• What are the most reliable strategies for safe driver takeover and control transitions?
• In what way should AVs resolve conflicting risks in high-stakes, ambiguous scenarios?

This presentation highlights recent research on safety algorithms that enhance autonomous vehicle decision-making in real-time. Focusing on obstacle avoidance, pedestrian interactions, and takeover situations, we explore how advanced logic and AI models work together to ensure safe responses in complex environments. Results from both simulation and real-world tests reveal key insights for improving AV safety and readiness for deployment.

In this session, you will learn more about:

• Improved obstacle and pedestrian handling using hybrid safety algorithms
• Critical considerations for safe and timely vehicle takeovers
• Scenario-based testing as a foundation for validating AV safety functions
