Automotive News Covers Velodyne SVP Mircea Gradu’s Push to Standardize Automotive Safety Regulations

Automotive News Covers Velodyne SVP Mircea Gradu’s Push to Standardize Automotive Safety RegulationsAugust 9, 2019|In Media Coverage|By Albie Jarvis

Adopting standardized safety regulations will help
automakers reduce the cost and complexity of vehicle autonomy and driver
assistance and make it easier for consumers to understand how the capabilities
work.

That was a key theme of a presentation by Velodyne Lidar Senior
Vice President of Quality and Validation Mircea Gradu at the 2019 CAR
Management Briefing Seminars, according to an Automotive
News story by Richard Truett.

The story noted:

“Having one global standard would allow suppliers and
automakers to cut development cost and product complexity. For example, some
countries require a driver’s hands to always be on the steering wheel in a
vehicle that can steer itself, while other countries do not, he (Gradu) pointed
out.”

All vehicle autonomy and driver assistance capabilities need
to be assessed by the same safety gauge to benefit both the industry and
consumers.

Moon Walks, Woodstock and the Ford Capri; Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of an Iconic Sports Car

It was the year man walked on the moon for the first time, the legendary Woodstock festival took place and the very first Boeing 747s reached for the skies. In that same year, half a century ago, Ford’s Capri hit Europe’s roads for the first time.
