CADILLAC TO INTRODUCE SUPER CRUISE ON ALL-NEW CT6 ACTIVE SAFETY AUTOMATED STEERING & LANE FOLLOWING CADILLAC SUPER CRUISE 1 Long-Range Radar 2 Short-Range Radars 8-10 Ultrasonic Sensors Sensor Fusion System 1 Front Camera 3 Short-Range Radars + HOW IT WORKS = 1 Rear Camera LANE FOLLOWING: Using a combination of GPS and optical cameras, Super Cruise watches the road ahead and adjusts steering to keep the car in the middle of its lane. COLLISION AVOIDANCE: A long-distance radar system detects vehicles more than 300 ft. ahead. The vehicle will automatically accelerate or apply the brakes to maintain a preset following distance.

VERIFICATION & VALIDATION OF AUTOMATED DRIVING SYSTEMS Many are asking how to achieve confidence automated driving systems will provide the desired value in both safety and travel convenience/utility There are many flavors of automated driving systems. Each requires extensive testing, including many aspects that are unique. Simulation, test track, and on-road testing are all used. Historically two types of guidelines have been created to help build confidence in Active Safety Products Focus on the processes used for development and testing Focus on objective tests at all levels for each feature

V&V CHALLENGES THAT ARE PRE- COMPETITIVE Creating or understanding social norms for automated vehicles Common expectations for behavior of automated vehicles Consistent terminology for performance metrics and test conditions Roadway and environmental conditions Ego-vehicle maneuvers Characteristics and behaviors of others Performance testing facilities for Behavior Sensor Interference Security Shared-data quality assurance
IWPC WORKGROUP ON PERFORMANCE METRICS FOR AUTOMOTIVE RADARS Goals Define a common set of performance metrics for automotive radar performance Agree on terminology and common language for automotive radar scenarios and performance criteria Define a common base line set of performance metrics Create guidelines for measuring metrics Success Criteria: Required test equipment readily available Required test facilities commonly available or accessible Test procedures repeatable enough to meet the intent Terminology applicable to radar, lidar, and vision systems Usable to predict the performance of the sensors in complex road and traffic environments.
