How reliable is your Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEB) or Front Collision Warning (FCW) in rain, fog, or at dusk?

Autonomous Emergency Braking systems have been mandatory for all newly registered vehicles in the EU since July 2024. However, the system is often only tested under optimal weather conditions. But what happens in adverse weather conditions, such as darkness, glare, rain or fog? How does your AEB system work, and [...]

Overengineering is a thing of the past. Today, it’s all about efficient, safe and smart design.

Safety first? Absolutely – but that doesn’t mean systems have to be overly complex or overloaded. Instead of stacking redundant components and excessive safety mechanisms, we at AVL Software and Functions focus on efficient safety solutions like intelligent architecture, smart fault detection, and adaptive safety. Efficient and safe design means: [...]
