Abstract

The automotive community is achieving substantial progress in the development of automated vehicles. But do we actually want automated vehicles and if so, how can we support their safe and legal introduction onto Dutch roads? The Dutch Automated Vehicle Initiative (DAVI) aims at the investigation, improvement, evaluation and demonstration of automated driving on public roads. DAVI is a collaboration between Delft University of Technology, Connekt, RDW, TNO, Toyota Motors Europe as well as many other Dutch and selected international partners. But, what is automated driving actually?
