About

Sumeet Chhawri is a leading researcher in the field of autonomous and cooperative automated driving, with a particular focus on safety, risk assessment, and the complex interplay between vehicle automation and human responsibility. His most influential work, "Risk Assessment for Cooperative Automated Driving" (2016), has garnered 68 citations and stands as a foundational contribution to the field. In this paper, Chhawri critically examines the rapid global investment in vehicle automation, highlighting how the transfer of control from human drivers to automated systems introduces unprecedented challenges in risk management and liability. His research provides a rigorous framework for evaluating the safety of cooperative automated driving systems, addressing the critical question of how to assess and mitigate risks when vehicles are not only autonomous but also connected to each other and to infrastructure. By bridging the gap between technological advancement and practical safety concerns, Chhawri’s work has become essential reading for engineers, policymakers, and researchers working to ensure that the transition to autonomous vehicles is both safe and responsible. His contributions continue to shape the discourse on how to build trust in automated driving technologies.
