The ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) Program is now in the second stage where not only expanding technological development but also the details necessary for forthcoming practical usage are now a priority. This paper describes design principles that are important for ASV development. In accordance with human driver behaviour, perception, decision-making, and control assistance are described in terms of driver assistance. In view of driver acceptance, the emphasis is put on the human-machine interface, and illustrative warning systems, and for social acceptance, the benefits of ASV technology for society are described.
