Elements of a European Roadmap on Smart Systems for Automated Driving

This chapter is summarizing key aspects of a research and development roadmap on smart systems technologies for automated driving which has been edited and published by the European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration (EPoSS) (European roadmap smart systems for automated driving, available online http://www.smart-systems-integration.org/, 2015, [1]). Starting from a description of the state-of-play in research and development funding, technology roadmaps have been developed based on surveys and consultations among major European automotive manufacturers and supplier. These roadmaps are organized along milestones for implementation of highly automated driving and provide information about content and timescales of actions in research and innovation (R&I) on technology and in framework conditions.
