› Do we need an International Expert Group on Automated Driving?

› Agreed standards in

› Save system design, testing

› System validation (functionality availability reliability )› System validation (functionality, availability, reliability…)

› Minimum data set for a proven environmental/scenery model for a function

› Infra-structure requirement for AD

› Figure of merit for third party data

› Quality of transmission channels
