As perception systems, ADAS, and in-cabin monitoring become increasingly software-defined and AI-driven, the lack of alignment across regional homologation requirements presents mounting technical and commercial challenges. Divergent regulations across markets can lead to redundant testing, increased time to market, and barriers to deploying common platforms globally — issues that affect the entire supply chain, from Tier 2 developers to OEMs. This session gathers key stakeholders from industry, research, and regulation to explore how homologation frameworks must evolve to keep pace with rapidly advancing technologies. What are the prospects for mutual recognition of approval processes? Can safety assurance methodologies be standardised across borders? And how can voluntary initiatives like NCAP protocols support global consistency without stifling innovation? Join us to examine the technical, procedural, and political complexities of harmonising homologation — and the role collaboration must play in enabling the safe, scalable rollout of automated systems and advanced driver assistance across regions.
By engineers, for engineers: A technically grounded guide to the rapidly evolving in-cabin technology industry and companies.
