“99% reliable” sounds good. An autonomous vehicle advertised as being ‘99%’ reliable conveys a message of trustworthiness, but naturally cannot be perfect. But this is not enough. It has to be 99.9999% reliable, or more! Why? “An autonomous car must be as safe as a human driver” – this...
Claytex continues to invest in the important development of automated testing methodologies for autonomous vehicles, as well as researching how to define safety and quantify it. Both topics are crucial to define and optimise AV testing. However, in many cases, having a fully automated test series generation can mean...
Managing Editor of Future Vehicle magazine, Steve Welch, interviewed Mike Dempsey, Managing Director of Claytex prior to the Future Powertrain Conference 2022.

Fig. 1: Virtual testing of an autonomous vehicle in rFpro Whether flying, driving, using a power socket or even dining in a restaurant, we take safety for granted, because we trust the safety processes behind it. Food freshness is regulated and inspected, electrical systems are equipped with circuit breakers,...
Autonomous Vehicle Safety Series (AVS #) The industrial application of Automated Vehicles is becoming ever more feasible. As the excitement of innovation wanes, the safety and reliability become the focus. Delivering a reliable and safe AV service can be achieved, when a safety-oriented culture creates an environment where multiple...
This article describes the different parameters to be taken into account to accurately simulate the reflection of an electromagnetic wave on a surface.
Managing Editor of Future Vehicle magazine, Steve Welch, interviewed Mike Dempsey, Managing Director of Claytex and two other D-RISK partners prior to the LCV2021 exhibition. Safe and Sound Mike Dempsey explains how creating ultra-realistic test scenarios can form the basis of a virtual driving test for autonomous vehicles. Future...
