Panel discussion: Role of AVs in determining passive safety requirements

As the automotive world increasingly adopts active-safety systems under the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) suite that includes features such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist, which collectively aim towards full-autonomous driving, the role of passive safety technology in vehicles is set to change.

With autonomous vehicles (AVs), occupants are likely to interact with vehicles in a completely different manner and that would also include a sea change in the seating layouts. As conventional seating layouts change, this would call for different passive safety requirements as well. At the International Passive Safety Seminar (iPASS) 2024, held recently at the International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) Manesar, the eminent panel deliberated upon these concerns.

Topic: Role of AVs in enhancing or diminishing Passive Safety requirements

Panelists: Anil Kumar C, Sr GM, Tata Motors; S Ramanathan, MD, Automotive Test Systems; Balraj Bhanot, Former Director, ARAI, and Dr Shashi Nambisan, Director and Professor, Transport Research Center, University of Nevada, USA.
