Data access and privacy concerns will be key challenges to determine ADAS-influencing factors, according to an SAE WCX Digital Summit expert panel.

With advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) evolving rapidly, the technology will continue to improve safety as it augments the skill and attention of human drivers. Accidents will still occur, however, and when they do, determining fault and failures will become more complex when a range of electronic sentinels are involved. A panel discussion during SAE's 2020 WCX Digital Summit [www.sae.org/attend/virtual-events/wcx-digital-summit] brought together experts in the accident reconstruction field to discuss how ADAS might influence the determining factors contributing to a crash.

Moderated by Origin Forensics' principal Jarrod Carter, the “Accident Reconstruction in an ADAS Future” panel speakers included: Edward Fatzinger, forensic engineer, Momentum Engineering Corp.; Eldon Leaphart, principal engineer, Carr Engineering Inc.; Alan Moore, consultant, A.B.Moore Forensic Engineering; and David Plant, mechanical engineer, D P Plant & Associates.
