Autonomous and unmanned defense platforms must be able to execute movement requirements in a controlled manner even when conditions change during a mission. Terrain, traction, gradient, load, or vehicle condition all influence whether a digitally planned movement is actually feasible. […]
Teleoperation relocates the operator’s station outside the vehicle. Technically, however, this involves much more than just a change in the location from which a person issues commands to steer, brake, or accelerate. In a conventionally operated platform, the driver receives […]
Military vehicles are designed for long service lives. Many platforms remain in service for decades and are modernized several times during that period. At the same time, their missions—and thus the requirements for vehicle architecture—are changing: teleoperation, autonomous driving functions, […]
A safety-critical drive-by-wire system may be technically sound in its design. For OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and system integrators, however, that alone is not enough. Functional safety must be verifiably demonstrated—both to auditors and regulatory agencies as well as within […]
In traditional vehicle systems, a safety strategy may involve shutting down a malfunctioning function and returning control to the driver. But what happens when there is no longer a driver available as a fallback? For autonomous and teleoperated vehicles, this […]
An autonomous shuttle in city traffic, a tractor in a field, or a wheel loader on a construction site operate in different risk environments. Accordingly, different standards apply to functional safety. But what happens when a drive-by-wire platform is to […]
Autonomous and remotely controlled vehicles place new demands on vehicle architecture. Where steering, braking, and propulsion are electronically controlled, control over vehicle movement must be ensured at all times—even in the event of a fault. This makes drive-by-wire a safety-critical […]
The new UN regulations R185 and GTR No. 26 establish an international framework for automated driving systems. At the same time, the UNECE ADS Working Group is developing Guidance and Interpretation Documents (GID) intended to support the practical application of […]
With the adoption of UN Regulation No. 185 and UN Global Technical Regulation No. 26 for Automated Driving Systems, UNECE WP.29 established a new international reference point— —in June 2026. It applies to highly and fully automated driving functions within […]
Key Takeaways: The new ADS regulations are technology-neutral but address safety across development, approval, and operation. This makes the safe implementation of digital driving decisions a distinct architectural and validation topic. Arnold NextG describes Safety-by-Wire® and NX NextMotion as platform-independent […]
