Our quick listener survey is your chance to shape the next season: https://bit.ly/madeforuspod---What happens when women aren't considered in car safety design? For decades, crash test dummies have been modeled on the average male, but studies now show that women are more likely to be injured or killed in certain types of crashes. As the data mounts, so does the urgency to fix the gender gap in car safety.This week, we're joined by Emily Thomas, PhD, Associate Director of Automotive Safety at Consumer Reports, and Astrid Linder, Professor of Traffic Safety at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, who developed the world's first crash test dummy representing an average woman. Together, we'll explore what it will take to design truly inclusive and safe cars.The conversation covers:Why women face higher injury risks in car crashesWhat's involved in designing a female crash test dummyHow the shift to driverless cars presents a chance to correct past biases---ResourcesAstrid Linder's researchUniversity of Virginia study U.S. Government Accountability Office recommendations---About Professor Astrid LinderAstrid Linder is Professor of Traffic Safety at Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, VTI, and an Adjunct Professor of Injury Prevention at Chalmers University. She received her PhD in traffic safety from Chalmers from where she also has a MSc in Engineering Physics. Prof Linder initiated and led the research resulting in the world's first physical dummy model based on the average female, the Seat Evaluation Tool (SET 50F) and was named one of the BBC's 100 most inspiring and influential women in 2023.Learn more about Astrid Linder: https://www.vti.se/en/employees/astrid-linderFollow Astrid Linder on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/astrid-linder-2a0b5a53/About Emily Thomas, PhDEmily Thomas leads the occupant protection and vulnerable road user safety programs at Consumer Report's Auto Test Center.

Previously seen as a premium feature in expensive cars, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are being rapidly expanded into more affordable automotive tiers to support vehicle driving and parking functions such as surround view systems, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance and lane departure warnings. ADAS features require safety-capable image processing technology to support both human and machine vision applications and to address this market, the Arm Mali-C78AE image signal processor is able to process data from up to four real-time or 16 virtual cameras to support Arm's vision to optimize performance, minimize power consumption and provide a clear focus to functional safety for ADAS. In this episode, Geof Wheelwright is joined by Graeme Voller, Senior Product Manager for Arm's Automotive and IoT team, and Andy Hanvey, Director of Automotive Marketing, OMNIVISION. The group will discuss ADAS, image signal processing, and the importance of functional safety. In addition to this they will dig deeper into the recent announcement of Arm Mali-G78AE GPU and what it offers the market.

Do you believe that the more we benefit from something, the more we’re willing to risk? We see it every day, especially in autonomous vehicles. People get comfortable, and text while their car is driving. Some people fall asleep. John Maddox, the senior director - autonomous safety and compliance at Lyft says that this is the challenge of shared automation. This was an interesting conversation and will continue to be as more levels of AVs become accessible. #ParadoxicalPhenomenon #paradoxical #autonomousvehicles #automotiveindustry #ISO21434 #automotivesecurity #automotivesafety #selfdrivingcars #AVSafety
