Hanover, Detroit (USA), January 16, 2018. A new feature has now been added to 2025AD.com just in time for the start of the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit (USA). Car and mobility experts, journalists, politicians, scientists and those who simply love driving can all find the latest academic research in a public database at www.2025ad.com/sdb, alongside infographics illustrating the complex issue of automated driving. To start with, there are 20 surveys concerning the categories of technology, artificial intelligence, acceptance, emissions, urban mobility, road safety, legal matters and ethics, market analysis, human-machine dialogue (human machine interface, HMI), as well as mobility services. The goal is to expand the database rapidly, since users have the opportunity to add studies themselves.

“If you’re looking for up-to-date, reliable information on automated and autonomous driving, you’ve come to the right place if you’re on 2025AD.com,” said Stephan Giesler, the project manager responsible, on the fringes of this year’s North America International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. “Adding academic research to a freely accessible database reinforces our approach of encouraging open and informed dialog between all stakeholders in automated driving,” he added.
On 2025AD.com, authors can present their findings to a wide audience. It is also a platform for all those who use such data: representatives of government and business who need information for planning and evaluation, students writing papers on self-driving cars, academics seeking input, and anyone who wants to find out more about automated driving.
