German–Japanese Symposium on
Driver Assistance Systems and Autonomous Driving:

Perspectives from German and Japanese Industry and Academia
Automation will bring radical changes to important aspects ofdriving and promises fewer accidents and lower emissions.
Today, driver assistance systems are already helping drivers toreach their destination in a safer and more efficient manner.
Comprising a number of complex elements such as vehiclemounted sensor systems, information processing systems andcontrol systems, driver assistance systems are continuously
increasing in sophistication and performance as efforts toward
the realization of autonomous driving proceed.

The joint symposium of the German Research and Innovation
Forum Tokyo (DWIH Tokyo) and the Consortium of co-creation
for drone society, Keio Research Institute at SFC focusses on
the progress made by Germany and Japan in the advancementof driver assistance systems as a key to autonomous driving.
It provides a platform for German and Japanese established andyoung researchers as well as other experts to meet and exchange
views on cutting-edge technology as well as the current stateof R&D.

Collaboration between Germany and Japan in the field ofautonomous driving is steadily expanding and was further
encouraged by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and theJapanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in March 2017.

Topics of the symposium will include:- Driver assistance systems for personal vehicles- Partial, high and full automation- Human–Machine–Interaction / Simulation- Strategies for the implementation of automatedDate:
