Goals:
Assess the actual technological maturity of autonomous vehicles (Level 4 and Level 5)
Discuss methods for safety assurance and certification of AI systems
Analyze the role of communication infrastructure (5G/6G, V2X, edge computing)
Examine implications of the AI Act and new product liability rules
Identify prerequisites for implementing autonomous mobility in European cities
Preliminary program:
-introductory statements by panelists
-moderated thematic discussion
-audience Q&A and open expert discussion
Key topics:
-safety architecture of autonomous vehicles (sensor fusion, redundancy)
-validation and verification of machine learning systems
-V2X communication and cooperative perception
-liability for accidents involving autonomous vehicles
-EU and national regulatory framework (AI Act, Product Liability, traffic law) and homologation
Target audince:
researchers, industry representatives, policymakers, regulators, and professionals interested in the development and deployment of autonomous and connected vehicles.
The discussion will address key technological and legal challenges of autonomous vehicles, focusing on safety architecture, AI system validation, communication infrastructure (V2X), as well as liability issues and the regulatory framework at the Croatian and EU levels.
