The busiest and quietest test centres Which centres have the highest and lowest first-time pass rate The 10 driving test centres with the highest pass rate in the UK[2] Newton, in Wales has taken the top spot for the driving centre with the highest pass rate in the UK according to the...
True, more room for kids to stretch out is almost never a bad thing, and space for carpool buddies can be useful, but the interior expanse makes it hard to hear kids in the third row, makes it impossible to fish a dropped binky out from under a seat, and will cause major difficulty ...
To tackle the challenge, research has been conducted on testing for autonomous cars. Koopman and Wagner [1] pointed out that a major problem in this area is how to ensure a “good enough” test suite on such auto-drive systems. According to Kalra and Paddock [2], an autonomous car shoul...
You will almost certainly never have to reverse around a corner. This is, for some reason, part of the test – as far as I can recall, an inability to pull it off resulted in an automatic fail – but it just doesn’t happen in real life. You’ll always be able to go forward, d...
However, there are also major challenges in realizing the full safety benefit of automated driving in order to achieve the target of a "positive risk balance compared to human driving performance", as recommended by the German Ethics Commission in June, 2017 (BMVI, 2017). Taking a deeper look...
I drive 50 miles to work each way, 35 of which are on a major highway. In one test I drove at a constant 80mph on the highway, and in another I cruised at 70mph. The fuel efficiency difference was a whopping 3.5mpg. The time difference? About 6 minutes. I'd say with the ...
for a pedestrian from a FP for a bicycle, or to discretize continuous state uncertainty to obtain Boolean faults. Nevertheless, formulating such fault models in accordance with the safety requirements seems non-trivial, which motivates for a further analysis of metrics and test criteria in Sect.6...
The introduction of self-driving vehicles gives rise to a large number of ethical issues that go beyond the common, extremely narrow, focus on improbable d
After having identified in this work the major achievements in the field and the main challenges and research questions, some research gaps that could improve the TOR process were found. This section will discuss open research steps in the TOR field. 7.1. TOR Models TOR needs to be modeled as...
