The design phase should also consider the limitations and perception of other traffic participants that are not equipped with an ADF. The AV’s behaviour should be designed in such a way that it is controllable/foreseeable for these traffic participants and does not exceed motion ranges of non-equipped drivers in non-emergency situations.
Main Question
Does the behaviour of the ADF lead to non-controllable situations from the perspective of other road users?
Sub-Questions
- Is the vehicle behaviour predictable for other road users if they do not know whether the vehicle is equipped or not equipped with the ADF?
- Is the reaction performance of other road users sufficient to interact with a vehicle that is equipped with a rapidly (hard, intensive) reacting ADF?
