OEM's have been whittling away at the cause of many fatalities – the human driver. Through the introduction of Advanced Driver Assist Systems manufacturers have slowly pried away several key safety functions from the driver and handed them over to the car. So, functions such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Autonomous Emergency Braking have been handed to the machine in an attempt to make our roads safer: An April 2016 Business Insider report quoted findings from KPMG that in the UK alone, self-driving cars will lead to 2,500 fewer deaths between 2014 and 2030.

But man’s obsession with the machine doesn’t end at ADAS and semi automated Level 3 and 4 vehicles, but rather the promise of a fully self-driving car controlled and taught by artificial intelligence. The immediate problem with this is that, being an immature technology, engineers, legislators and the public at large need assurance as to how safe this new tech is; and the only way to do this is through testing… extensive testing!

The testing of connected autonomous cars' communication skills results in massive projects around the world, such as China's goal of intelligent transportation for Shanghai residents and the fully functioning virtual city in Michigan for autonomous cars.

This report gives detailed insight into several testing facilities and projects currently running, as well as considerations regarding cyber security vulnerabilities and how the white hat hackers should lead the way in securing automotive software for autonomous vehicles.

Every January, carmakers testing self-driving cars in California have to detail how many times their vehicles malfunctioned during the preceding year. These so-called disengagement reports detail every time a human safety driver had to take control of the car, either due to hardware or software failure or because the driver anticipated a problem.

Because virtual testing is focused on rare and potentially hazardous scenarios, these tests equate to many generations of human driving. „These are not straight and empty roads but six million challenging kilometers that actually teach us to modify the way the self-driving car should react to unexpected or safety critical situations“ said Google spokeswoman Katelin Jabbari
