Safer Vehicles by design
This stream has two themes. The first theme looks at passive safety systems and how they can mitigate the consequences of collision particularly with vulnerable road users.
The second theme focuses on the technology of predicting, warning and automatically intervening to avoid collisions.
The conference will try to look forward at possible developments in these areas.
