  2. Quality of Life 101: Important Elements • Environment • Clean air, water, … • Employment • “High Quality” Jobs • Correlated with Crime/Personal Safety • Mobility • Personal Desire with Societal Oversight Priorities: Safety, Efficiency, Equity, Comfort, Convenience, …

  3. Founding Premise • Automated Vehicle Technology can evolve such that: • If added to a single vehicle, • The probabilities that this vehicle will be involved in various types of accidents are substantially reduced. Overall the expected Liability Cost Savings ($L) attributed to those avoided accidents > Installed Cost ($C) of that Technology

  4. Founding Premise If ($L) > ($C) of that Technology • Then there is an enormous Business Case for the adoption of that technology by that vehicle • and every other vehicle. • The technology more than pays for itself from the savings that it delivers. PLUS: • The created “High Quality” Jobs, • Improved Personal Safety • Avoided Personal Disruptions • Improved the Environment, and • Arguably Improved: Efficiency, Equity, Comfort, Convenience, … All Come for FREE!

  5. Fundamental Focus of the NJ Center for AV@ Fort Monmouth: • Advancing AV Technologies that ($L) > ($C) • Facilitating Fundamental R&D on • enabling sensor and control technologies, and • Vehicle<->driver/rider<->WWW<->Vehicle… interface elements • Quantifying the Expected Accident Probability implications of those AV Technologies. • To enable positive insurance and risk mitigation interests to propel adoption that also greatly benefits • Testing and Certification of those AV Technologies • Support Technically the Public Oversight/Regulation of those AV Technologies • Support Technically the Commercialization of those AV Technologies
