Hi-Drive Webinar #3 – Insights from the Roadshows: User Acceptance & European ADAS Driver Training

On 21 March 2025, Hi-Drive hosted the third session in its Public and FREE webinar series. The event attracted a broad audience from across the mobility and research community, offering a closer look at key results from two major Roadshow demonstrations carried out as part of Hi-Drive’s large-scale demonstration activities.

The FIRST PART of the session focused on User Acceptance of SAE Level 3 Automated Driving, based on a study conducted by BMW and WIVW on Munich’s motorways and urban motorways. Felix Fahrenkrog, Expert in Development at BMW Group, and Barbara Metz, Human Factors Researcher at the Würzburger Institut für Verkehrswissenschaften GmbH (WIVW), presented insights on how users interacted with SAE Level 3 functions, including their engagement with system features and secondary tasks.

In the SECOND PART, the focus shifted to the development of a European ADAS Driver Training Programme. Justyna Beckmann, Senior EU Projects Manager at FIA Region I, outlined the initiative led by FIA in collaboration with 11 European Mobility Clubs, OEMs, and regulatory bodies. Andreas Rigling, Lead at Testzentrum Mobilität at ADAC, followed with details on the practical implementation of the programme through a stakeholder workshop, which laid the foundation for a broader public rollout.

The session concluded with a live Q&A, where the presented topics sparked several interesting discussions among attendees and speakers.

Hi-Drive would like to thank all participants and contributors for their active involvement in this successful event!
