In the web presentation the speaker stated that all of the OEM's that they are dealing with are following the Ncap road map and will implement systems to ensure they comply. Perhaps this is why Ford jumped quickly and realised there is more to progress than trying to jump to level 4/5.
This is a part of the transcript from the web presentation from the 31 May .....
[So next we�ll talk about regulation and safety ratings as a whole. And I know this slide is a little bit busy but if you look here, each one of these features is in the roadmap for Euro NCAP safety ratings. Not so long in the future, right. It�s 2018 through to latest 2024. And this is separate than what Jan was talking about with the mandates that could be requiring things to be 100% but each of these, including driver monitoring and connectivity, V2X, various features with AEB. If they become part of NCAP, which is now expected, this will drive take rates also very quickly because it�s proven that a five -star safety rating is really a purchase decision driver for consumers and these would be necessary in Europe and in fast followers like China or maybe even leap - froggers like China to have these in all of those cars to get the five star rating]
