In the field of modern function development for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
(ADAS), the key driving forces are safety and risk minimization. The high level of automation
and the increasingly complex demands on these systems are presenting vehicle manufacturers
Unlike many other industries,
the automotive sector attaches particular
importance to software development.
Especially where safety and
reliability are concerned, OEMs expect
failsafe systems that are suitable
for series production and can cope
with any kind of traffic scenario. To
meet these high standards, AVL started
investing in the development of
advanced driver assistance systems
some ten years ago.

with tough challenges in terms of development engineering. Being an established
partner in driving function development, AVL offers its customers the best possible solutions
for series development tasks based on well-founded know-how and expertise.
“If you want to develop ADAS systems,
you must first understand the
complexity in its context,” Erich
Ramschak, Senior Product Manager
Vehicle at AVL explains. “The six established
SAE levels of driving automation
range from the simple provision
of information (L0) all the way
to autonomous driving without a
driver (L5). With each further level,
the demands on the system become
more complex – at the higher levels
the vehicle must make decisions independently
and respond to the environment
appropriately and immediately.
Essentially, the software
algorithms are required to function
like human beings, which brings us
to the subject of teaching machines to
think, in other words to Deep Learning
and Artificial Intelligence.”
While such algorithms are still in
the development stage (for exam-
