In recent decades, electronic control systems become more and more important part of automotive active and passive safety systems. They lead to reduction of fatalities by supporting driver in different critical situations. Further road safety improvement is achievable through advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD), which are beginning with a co-pilot functions and will result in autonomous driving in the future. The elementary requirement on these systems is based on the flawless and safe operating mode. The development of new and more complex driver assistance systems, which more and more takes over the drivers' duties, requires also development of new concepts for quality and functional reliability assessment. Currently regulatory bodies and consumer organisations define for some vehicle categories couple of physical proving ground tests to assess the functionality of ADAS. However, the testing procedures based on physical testing seem to be insufficient to cover the all possible cases and thus to evaluate the effectiveness and safety. To cover the huge number of possible scenarios, simulation methods are the only feasible way. Physical tests will be still needed for verification and validation of these simulation models and set-ups. The proper standardisation and regulatory basis is important for all stakeholders. Since current regulations and inspection specifications are not sufficient or even not existing, several committees and project groups are developing new international regulations and standards. If considering such complex systems as ADAS or even AD not only their effectiveness but also functional safety and IT security are essential for the system overall evaluation. These systems have access to all core functionalities of the vehicle and their improper or unsafe behaviour could cause accidents, which would not occur if the driver would drive the vehicle himself. To enable future homologation of systems the functional safety standards (ISO 26262) and assessment methods have to be modified. The cars will increasingly connect with the outside world, which results in new vulnerabilities and threats. IT-security becomes the same importance like the functional safety. Therefore, an automotive applicable Standard to IEC 62443 must be developed to ensure common IT security level of all future vehicles on the roads. The technical development towards smart mobility systems is very fast. It must be ensured that through existing standardisation and regulatory basis the future smart vehicles will able to achieve the main objectives - increase comfort and reduce accidents and fatalities on the roads.
