Software on Wheels: Driver Awareness and CAN
drive Trial
*Webinar available* Entrusting the driving task to a computer will eventually become a reality,
but the journey to then will be gradual, complex, and potentially dangerous.
Synopsis
As we grapple with the reality of dealing with a range
(\)of Autonomous Vehicles (AV) on our roads, there
is general agreement these vehicles will make driving easier, more comfortable, and eventually, safer.
Entrusting the driving task to a computer will eventually become a reality, but the journey to then will be
gradual, complex, and potentially dangerous.
As the technology improves the risk pro le changes and the number of unexpected and potentially
dangerous events the car will not be able to reliably respond to will reduce. However, this raises
new issues around driver awareness where the driver could become complacent in an environment
where increasing speed and other, unforeseen obstacles could result in potentially dire consequences.
This raises new challenges for many organisations involved with AV safety including regulators,
manufacturers, law enforcement, and associated organisations such as Engineers Australia and the
Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).
The ACT Government, together with Seeing Machines, has established an AV study - initiated the CAN
drive - trial which will, through observing driver behaviour in an automated vehicle setting, help us
better understand when and why, from both a safety and a regulatory perspective, a driver should be in
control rather than the automated vehicle, and help to manage the transition from one to the other with
reduced risk.
The CAN Drive trial CAN drive supports a growing appetite internationally to understand issues such as
when and how drivers will use automated driving functions and how it might impact their awareness of
the environment around them, as well as their ability to take control of steering and speed functions
from the vehicle when required, and at short notice.
A panel discussion will be held at Seeing Machines of ces, Fyshwick, and broadcast live via a National
Webinar.
Speaker 1: Mr Andrew McCredie, ACT Government AV Trial Governance
Committee: Why CAN drive trial is being conducted.
Speaker 2: Mr Ken Kroeger, Chairman, Seeing Machines Ltd: What Seeing
Machines are doing, and what have found so far.
Ken joined Seeing Machines in 2011 as CEO. Under Ken’s leadership the company has been
strategically transformed into a recognized industry leader in computer vision, eye-tracking and
intervention safety products and services with leading customers such as Caterpillar.
Ken’s understanding of computer technology was honed
(\) at the North Alberta Institute of Technology.
His experience as a technology entrepreneur came to the fore when he moved to Australia in the mid1990s and co-founded 3D simulation and training provider Catalyst Interactive. Ken’s exposure to a
wide range of industries, governments and defence/security agencies at an international level, has
allowed him to develop a solid understanding of how technology can be applied to help people and
organizations perform at a higher or safer level.
Speaker 3: Mr James Goodwin, Chief Executive Of cer, Australasian New Car
Assessment Program: How this work impacts ANCAP's safety rating system.
James Goodwin is a former journalist and news presenter with a professional career in corporate affairs
and government relations. He has a particular interest in consumer advocacy and education, particularly
in the areas of transport and safety as well as improving corporate governance in the not-for-pro t
sector.
Prior to joining ANCAP, Mr Goodwin held the position of Director - Government Relations &
Communications at the Australian Automobile Association (AAA). James also held a senior corporate
affairs position with the industry body representing the interests of new car and motorcycle brands in
Australia, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI).
Q&A Session Facilitator: Mr Geoff Hurst, FIEAust, National President of the
Risk Engineering Society.
