Abstract:
European vehicle manufacturers, and indeed vehicle manufacturers around the world, have introduced a host of electronic driver assistance systems of various forms. Some manufacturers have also announced a vision of accident-free driving in the future. Yet the real safety value of many of the systems on offer is open to doubt. This talk will indicate what is the empirical evidence for the safety

benefits of some of the technologies. It will also discuss the evidence for the safety benefits of one specific system, Intelligent Speed Adaptation, which is targeted at discouraging and even preventing speeding.
