Automated Drive: A Reality Check

Doug Patton

Executive Vice President & Chief Technology OfficerDENSO International America, Inc. June 18, 2015

Automated Drive Technology

ALL the time.Technology has to work Every time. 100 percent of the time.

And in ALL conditions.

99 percent of the time is [NOT an option]

Automated Drive Obstacles

There are three basic obstacles:

1) Address the Technology challenges

2) Consumer acceptance, which is easier said than done

3) Address liability/ litigation issues, some of which are ethical issues[ ]

Focusing on the

Human Element will be critical as we move to Automated Vehicles

Must Focus on the Human Element
