Italian traffic police are calling for richer data from advanced driver‑assistance systems (ADAS) to help untangle who did what in accidents.
- Investigators reviewing recent crashes found current ADAS logs often lack the granularity needed to separate human inputs from automated actions.
- Chief of the Highway Patrol, Marco Porretto, emphasized that clear distinctions between driver decisions and vehicle interventions are essential for accurate reconstructions.
- The police proposal suggests manufacturers provide timestamps, sensor readings, and system status updates for every critical event.
- If adopted, this could streamline legal proceedings and improve road‑safety research.
More detailed ADAS records would give investigators the tools to pinpoint responsibility with confidence.
