Preface

You are holding the fourth volume of the Road Vehicle Automation book series in your hands, a journey that started when one of the very first symposia on this topic was held at Stanford University in 2013. Back then, an evolutionary development path, building on and further extending the achievements in advanced driver assistance systems, appeared to be the most probable introduction scenario of highly automated driving. Level 3 automation seemed to be feasible in the less complex environment of a motorway, as it would require just vehicle-based sensor systems, whereas the more revolutionary path of level 4 and 5 automation, covering a whole trip including urban areas, was considered pure utopia. This notion is beginning to change fundamentally, right now. It is becoming obvious that level 3 automation would mean quite a lot of handovers from manual to automated driving and vice versa with uncertainties abo
