The SafetyWeek in Aschaffenburg in May is one of the primary events and information hubs for news and updates in the field of automotive safety in Germany. The upcoming introduction of automated and advanced assisted driving is expected to deliver a further major step in the direction to Vision Zero.

ANDATA presents the importance and the motivation for open test fields with accordant methods for the validation and safeguarding of learning, cooperative, and connected systems in automated and assisted driving. It is illustrated by the exemplary example of Wien^ZWA, the intended (inter-)urban test field for automated driving in and around Vienna.
