White Paper
Validating Automated Driving Systems
An Overview of the New Assessment/Test Method (NATM)
Autonomous vehicles are no longer science fiction. They’re being tested on real roads today. But how can we ensure these systems are truly safe?
As automation increases, so does the complexity of testing. Traditional validation methods fall short, especially for systems that must independently navigate unpredictable real-world conditions. Public trust hinges on more than just innovation. It demands evidence!
In this white paper, you’ll discover:
- Why traditional metrics (like miles driven) aren’t enough to prove ADS safety
- The critical differences in validating ADAS vs. ADS
- A deep dive into the New Assessment/Test Method (NATM) developed by UNECE’s VMAD group
- How scenario-based testing, simulation, and real-world trials work together
- The role of audits and in-service monitoring in long-term safety assurance
