The journey from groundbreaking research to scalable development in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is a complex yet crucial endeavor. It involves transforming innovative ideas and findings into practical, real-world solutions that enhance road safety and efficiency. Achieving this requires synergistic collaboration between academia, industry stakeholders and regulatory authorities. By fostering a culture of shared knowledge, aligning objectives across sectors and investing in comprehensive testing and validation processes, we can ensure that cutting-edge ADAS technologies are seamlessly integrated into vehicles. This approach not only accelerates the adoption of advanced ADAS features but also sets the stage

• Software-defined vehicle layer model
• Current development status in ADAS/AD
• Where research and development need to work together more closely
• What the future of development and research could look like
