Plenary Session

1)  Opening Remarks

        2) Keynotes

    Prof. Hsin Guan, Vice President of China SAE, Professor of Jilin University, gave a speech entitled: An evaluation method of driving intelligence for automated driving vehicles. Prof. Guan said that autonomous driving systems should focus on achieving humanoid intelligence and personalization of driving behavior, and that humanoid intelligent autonomous driving systems have the potential to significantly reduce costs.
    Dominik Schuster, VP Vehicle Safety, BMW Group, gave a speech entitled 'The future of vehicle safety - a paradigm shift from "what" to "how and why"'. He said that traditional passive safety only solves the problem of “what”, but with the continuous development of autonomous driving, we need to shift our thinking to solve the problem of "how and why".
    Dan Li, VP of FAW R&D Institute, Director of ICV Department, FAW, gave a speech entitled: Safety and security technology strategy and innovative applications of Hongqi Brand. He firstly introduced the 8 technology trends in the automotive industry and the current issues they are facing in terms of functional security, SOTIF, cybersecurity and data security, and he introduced their response strategies from the strategic design and technical level.

    Prof. Lutz Eckstein, Director of Institute for Automotive Engineering, RWTH Aachen University talked about: Insights into automated driving research. He shared the concept and composition of the user center as well as the update of the corresponding basic design.

    3) Panel Discussion

    Chaired by Prof. Frank Zhao, Honorable Lifetime President of FISITA, Director of Tsinghua Automotive Strategy Research Institute (TASRI), Panel Discussion invited experts from OEMs, transportation institute, OEMs, and software solution providers to discuss "How to ensure the safety of L3/L4 automated vehicles? They discussed hot issues such as safety challenges faced by autonomous driving, safety perception solutions, cybersecurity, and HMI safety.

Chair: Prof. Frank Zhao, Honorable Lifetime President of FISITA, Director of Tsinghua Automotive Strategy Research Institute (TASRI)

Panelists：
- Dan Li, VP of FAW R&D Institute, Director of ICV Department
- Wenhui Zhou, Director of Vehicle Safety Division, Road Transportation Safety Research Center, Ministry of Public Security of the PRC
- Stanislav Lincer, Functional Safety & Cybersecurity Director, Great Wall Motor
- Yali Wang, Head of Functional Safety Team in Baidu

- Rainer Hoffmann, CSO, Shanghai Digauto Automobile Technology

    Parallel Technical Sessions
    1)  SOTIF Session
    Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) refers to the absence of unreasonable risk due to hazards resulting from functional insufficiencies of the intended functionality or by reasonably foreseeable misuse by persons. SOTIF Session shared insights into AI algorithm, scenario database, evaluation, road testing and ISO/DIS 21448.

    2) Cybersecurity Session
    Cybersecurity session discussed cybersecurity challenges, multi-level cybersecurity systems, penetration testing systems, resilience and integrity for L4 autonomy, and secure automotive software development process.

    3) Impacts of Human Factors on Safety Session
    Human Factors Session discussed the human factor and HMI solutions that ensure safer driving, more effective communication between humans and vehicles, and better user experience.
