• Sensors:
  Various external sensors will be used to achieve a wide enough perception area for all applications. Especially for safety related ones effort will be given to achieve coverage of the area of interest from multiple sensors.
• Driver monitoring:
  The driver will be monitored directly and indirectly all the time to obtain a confidence value on her/his capacity and attention status in order to optimise the tasks repartition and the feedback strategy.
• Platform:
  A scalable vehicle architecture, by means of smart sensors, standard fail silent ECU and smart actuators, will be defined to cope with the needs for highly automated driving, based on conventional actuators up to fail tolerant integration of drive-by-wire to allow autonomous driving.
