The proposed actions are expected to address the development and demonstration of each of the following aspects:

• More powerful and reliable embedded in-vehicle perception systems with increased performance, resilience and accuracy based on enhanced sensing, localization (with reliable, dynamic, high-definition digital maps, reliable and precise location from EU satellite navigation services) and improved object/person classification and cognition (with greater integration with infrastructure-based perception systems and other vehicles to complete data fusion and real time updates).
• System self-assessment methods for environment perception technologies and improved hardware integration into the vehicle need also to avoid reliability issues due to environmental stresses, temperature shifts, vibrations, potential malicious attacks, low speed crashes, etc.
• On-board, real-time, fail-safe, unambiguous and traceable decision-making systems for safe Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) based on complex in-vehicle systemsof-systems requiring extensive computational power and highly advanced algorithms in order to address complex traffic scenarios (with VRU). These systems should be cost effective and respecting the protection of personal data with improved minimum risk manoeuvres in the event that the limit of the ODD is reached or in the case of a malfunction.

In order to achieve the expected outcomes, international cooperation is advised, in particular with projects or partners from the US, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Singapore, Australia.
