As part of the agreement, Mobileye and the DGT will promote the
benefits of the adoption of ADAS for municipal and private fleets
to support improved road safety across Spain. The collaboration to
promote adoption will include joint research to determine the
magnitude of safety improvement driven by the performance and
accuracy of Mobileye 8 Connect™.
Furthering the Vision Zero objective, the DGT will also promote
the development and adoption of autonomous driving. The DGT is
working toward the regulation of autonomous vehicles and will lead
the required cross-industry alliances to position Spain as an
integrated Autonomous Ready™ country.
In addition to assisting to prevent accidents by providing
drivers with real-time visual and audio alerts, Mobileye 8 Connect™
collects actionable and dynamic data on city streets, such as
infrastructure deficiencies, accident hotspots, parking usage,
environment conditions and other road hazards. Data collected will
be analyzed by the DGT and other government authorities to prepare
Spanish roads for semi- and fully autonomous vehicles, while also
contributing to and enhancing the development of Mobileye
RoadBook™, powered by the crowdsourced REM Road Experience
ManagementTM mapping technology. Additionally, data obtained will
be utilized in other research and development projects to explore
new ways to improve road safety.
Mobileye and Spain’s DGT will also collaborate on defining the
regulatory roadmap required for an autonomous future. Together they
will seek to develop a policy framework for efficiently validating
the safety of an autonomous vehicle, incorporating Mobileye’s
Responsibility Sensitive Safety (RSS) model, which provides
specific and measurable parameters to ensure that a self-driving
vehicle operates in a responsible manner and does not cause
accidents for which it can be blamed.
“The visionary leadership within Spain’s DGT is working
diligently to ensure the country is prepared for the arrival of
autonomous vehicles, and we are honored to be a trusted partner of
theirs in this endeavor,” said Gil Ayalon, director – EMEA,
Aftermarket, Mobileye. “We at Mobileye commend the department for
their innovative and bold approach to designing the future of
transportation in Spain.”
“This collaboration allows us to better understand and place
Spain in a leading position for the major changes and opportunities
that we are facing in road safety and mobility,” said Jaime Moreno,
deputy director for Mobility Management, Directorate-General of
Traffic.
The landmark collaboration is the latest example of Spain’s
efforts to become a world leader in road safety through
technological innovation, and builds on Mobileye’s growing presence
in the country. As part of Mobileye’s goal of developing autonomous
vehicle technology that can be deployed anywhere, the company plans
to test and train Level 4 SAE vehicles in varying locations around
the world, including Spain.
