Gothenburg and Lindholmen Science Park was the venue for the semi-annual DDI conference in 2018. Driver Distraction and Inattention is nowadays an even more relevant topic within the automotive. An industry which aim for completely autonomous cars, but still the reality is that cars are driven by humans and their attention is crucial for today safety. The 3-day conference was with insight from different research. Perhaps the largest footprint were the EURO NCAP sessions on their future safety grading. EURO NCAP is to be considered as directly influential on car manufacturers revenues. Something that makes the industry and research to listen up and to adapt accordingly. EURO NCAP coming guidelines and grading is that those cars without any form of driver monitoring system (DMS) after 2020, will not be awarded with the highest 5-star safety grading.
