The implementation of vehicles equipped with automated functions and autonomous vehicles requires research to verify whether new technologies will be safe. Tests in real traffic conditions are expensive, time-consuming and difficult to implement for various reasons so the real-world traffic testing phase is usually preceded by laboratory simulations. Scenario databases collect data that reflect real-world conditions and are essential for proper simulation.

With the introduction of the General Safety Regulation, all new vehicles sold and registered for the first time in the European Union after 7 July 2024 must be equipped with certain driver assistance systems, which will improve road safety. In October 2024, Euro NCAP published the test results of five Level 2 automated driving systems from five different vehicle manufacturers.
