Sweden was keen to introduce their vision. The Chair, as representative of Sweden, introduced LKAS-01-09, made by the
Swedish Transmport Administration. Background: project dated 2002. In 2008, a “vision zero” program was established in S. he clarified that the document provides the vision, but the practical goal is reducing by half, i.e. 210 fatalities, the number of
fatalities per year in Sweden. He stressed the following items:

• Page 5: Just after the lauch by s of their program, the EU decided to reduce by half the number of fatalities in 2020 compared to 2010. This made problem to Sweden, with a new goal of 133 fatalities a year. Hence a Swedish working group was established (pages 11 and 13).
• Page 24: the representative of Sweden showed that Industry predicted that 100% of the vehicles would be equipped with LKAS in 2015. It was questioned wether the existing fleet was taken into account.

OICA found a conflict with the LDWS EU commitment. The delegate from S clarified that the document was tabled to explain the commitment of Sweden in the ad hoc group. The delegate stress that the authorities usually rely very much on the good functionning of fthe driver assistance systems, which explains the need for a certain level of performance.

The expert from OICA pointed out that passenger cars are not driven by trained professionals, rather by usual customers (e.g. rental cars). The experts were informed that in addition, Sweden believes the LKAS to be a corner stone toward autonomous driving (in Sweden, by 2016).

OICA stressed that current LKAS are used only above a certain speed, in straight roads, etc. the experts questionned whether S has the objective of making the system work in all conditions. It was stressed by OICA that there are two kinds of systems currently on the market, comfort systems and safety systems. The expert wondered whether excluding low cost vehicles because the system may be too expensive for them. J was ready to discuss this item, relating to the content of the requirements.
