SIP-adus(Automated Driving for Universal Service) started in June 2014 as a national research and development project for innovation. It has a social significance, providing a fundamental solution to suchissues as the reduction of traffic fatalities, the reduction of the environmental burden by easing traffic congestions, travel support for elderly people and other vulnerable road users, and the revitalization of rural areas. The improvement of the competitivenessof the automobile industry and the expansion of related markets are significant from an industrial point of view. Under the Steering Committee, we established the System Implementation WG, the International Cooperation WG, and the Next-Generation TransportWG. In 2016, we identified five important area of focus (1) dynamic maps, (2) human-machine interface(HMI), (3) cyber-security, (4) pedestrian accident reduction, and (5), next-generation transport. We also conducted a large-scale FOTs on these area from 2017and delivered the achievement of the research and development.
