New research project for safer autonomous vehicles
As functions in vehicles become increasingly advanced, new demands are made for agile working methods in the automotive industry. Semcon is a partner in a new research project funded by Vinnova which aims to devise analysis methods and processes for continuous development of safe connected and automated vehicles.Considering a car finished when it leaves the factory is something of an outmoded approach nowadays.
