Formalization of Operational Domain and Operational Design Domain for Automated Vehicles
Specifying an Operational Design Domain (ODD) is crucial for safeguarding automated vehicle systems against conditions that exceed their capabilities. Yet, prior definitions of ODD have relied on ambiguous and unclear terms, resulting in numerous misunderstandings and misconceptions. This paper introduces a formal approach to clearly define the Operational Domain (OD) and ODD for automated vehicles. Furthermore, the absence of essential terms, such as the OD, has resulted in the creation of numerous terms that have made things more complicated and confusing. This level of complexity is unacceptable when it comes to developing safety-critical systems, where any uncertainty can lead to significant risks. This study addresses these deficiencies by providing a precise mathematical model of OD and clarifying its relationship with other terms. Also, by formalizing these terms, this work establishes a foundation for developing further concepts such as ODD specification and ODD monitoring, which are explained in this paper.

Mercedes Benz and will.i.am unveil futuristic technology that turns your car into a musical instrument
Nothing beats the experience of powering down the highway in your car with the speakers blaring out your favourite tunes. But often the music doesn't match up to the moments of the drive – whether it's the chorus kicking in when you hit the accelerator or steady beats breaking up the monotony of the motorway. Now, a solution has come from an unlikely source – will.i.am, the entrepreneur and musician best known as the founder of the Black Eyed Peas. He's partnered with German car maker Mercedes Benz on futuristic in-car software called Sound Drive that'turns your car into a musical instrument'. When the driver accelerates, brakes or turns, the software reacts to create new sounds or remix existing tunes, making the driver'the conductor' and the car'the orchestra'.

I tested the UK's first 'hands-free' self-driving car - so, would YOU feel safe letting go of the steering wheel at 70mph?
Taking your hands off the steering wheel and feet off the pedals while travelling at 70mph might sound like a nightmare. The car contains a system called BlueCruise, which is the UK's only legal hands-free driving technology. But would you feel safe letting a car take over for you on the motorway? Ford loaned MailOnline's Shivali Best a Mustang Mach-E for the weekend so she could find out. Taking your hands off the steering wheel and feet off the pedals while travelling at 70mph might sound like a nightmare.

Ford unleashes the UK's first legal hands-free drive car – but who will buy it?
Taking your hands off the steering wheel while driving on a busy M11 motorway in Essex at 70mph feels like a counterintuitive leap of faith. When a display flashes blue on the dashboard the moment has come: let go, and the car continues in its lane with no input from feet or hands. The car is a Ford Mustang Mach-E, which has this month become the first to offer hands-free driving capabilities on roads in the UK – a first for the whole of Europe, as well. It is a milestone in the shift to autonomous driving, even if, for now, it is limited to motorways. Ford is now hoping that it can persuade customers to pay for the technology.

How Ford's 'driverless' BlueCruise system works
Hands-free cars are driving on British roads for the first time after Ford launched its innovative BlueCruise technology. The'hands-off, eyes-on driving' system allows motorists to take their hands off the wheel so their vehicle can steer itself as well as accelerate and slow down. It is the first'partial automation' assisted driving feature legally passed for use on roads in Europe, having received approval from the UK government. BlueCruise relies on cameras and radar-sensing technologies to monitor nearby traffic, speed signs and road markings. So how exactly does the technology work?

Is artificial intelligence the way to stop people texting while driving?
In Australia, a new camera system could be the solution to the problem of people using their mobile phone while driving. Using the mobile phone while driving is surely one of the most dangerous driving offences. In the era of individualism and the'attention economy', it only makes more sense that a problem such as this one persists. People are addicted to their phones. The writer of this article is addicted to his phone.

Driverless cars make people nervous, but they're already safer than human drivers
People are scared of not being in control. That's partly why so many of us are more scared of flying than of driving: we're not the one flying the plane. Even though the drive to the airport is actually more dangerous than the flight, it feels safer, because we're in control. So it's probably not surprising that, as i reported this week, the public is wary about autonomous vehicles (AVs), also known as self-driving cars. A study by British researchers found that more than half of people were uncomfortable with either using them or sharing a road with them.
