AddSafety – Efficient Development of Robust Vehicle Safety

The aim of the AddSafety project is to bring the evaluations of vehicle safety systems closer to real-world traffic conditions. Within AddSafety, the IVC investigates the visual perception and prediction stack, as well as explainability (via attribution) approaches for visual perception stacks in vehicle safety systems.
