Review and Analysis of Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS) Regulation

초록

Recently, Germany and parts of the United States have seen the commercialization of Level 3 autonomous vehicles, and the technology is starting to pay off. However, Level 3 autonomous driving technology is not without its challenges, as the manufacturer is solely responsible for any accidents that occur while the vehicle is in operation. Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS) are emerging as an alternative to mitigate the manufacturer's liability burden during the commercialization of autonomous driving technology and effectively fill the technological gap between Level 2 and 3. While Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) include driver assistance functions for driving safety, DCAS is a technology designed to provide drivers with a driving experience that is comparable to autonomous driving, thereby reducing the liability burden on manufacturers while increasing the practical applicability of autonomous driving technologies. This study analyzes the regulations, operating conditions, testing and evaluation processes, technical limitations, and directions for improvement related to DCAS technologies. This study emphasizes the direction in which manufacturers can proceed with technology development after familiarizing themselves with DCAS-related regulations and is expected to contribute to the development and stability of DCAS.
