The rapidly increasing presence of autonomous systems driven by the confluence of advancements in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Artificial lntelligence (Al) creates fundamental societal and technical chal­lenges that intertwine liability, certification, assurance and policy issues. The symposium brings together research organizations and public authorities from US and Germany to discuss these challenges for the spe­cific context of highly autonomous driving and will identify synergy potentials and differences in research approaches of both nations. 

The workshop is hosted by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), which provides large-scale testbeds for highly autonomous vehicles and coordinates the PEGASUS project, the German root project for a series of follow up projects preparing scenario-based approaches to verification & validation of HAD­relevant components and systems. 

lt is organized by the joint US-German project on "Science of Design for Societal Scale Cyber­Physical Systems" funded by the NSF Partnership for International Research and Education Excellence (PIRE) program, co-funded by the German DFG. 

Workshop organization is supported by SafeTRANS, the German competence duster on processes and methods for Critical Systems Engineering.

An expert group from the automotive industry, universities, and research institutes publishes the Automotive Roadmap Embedded Systems at the IAA as part of the Mobility World at an expert event in the exhibition area New Mobility World. The strategy paper, jointly published by the Society for Informatics (GI), Software Engineering Department, the Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and the Competence Cluster "Safety in Transportation Systems" (SafeTRANS), analyzes which technologies and skills in the field of so-called embedded systems in the automobile will be needed in the next 15 years in order to be able to master the major social and economic challenges and continue to be successful in the market.

Cyber-physical systems will pose new challenges to science and research. Embedded hardware and software systems are decisive driving forces for innovation in the export and growth markets of German industry. They crucially expand the functionality and, as a result, the practical value and competitiveness of vehicles, aircraft, medical equipment, production plants and household appliances. The objective should be to master technology and its economic use and to focus on the social acceptance of cyber-physical systems.
