Desire for Safety

Honda customers are led by “curiosity”, and drivers continue to make new discoveries from various destinations to find much joy and happiness in life.
We want to deliver the “fun” in the freedom of mobility to all. Thatʼs why Honda deeply cares about safe mobility that protects lives, and we continue
to strive in creating a safer society.

Importance of Safety and Reliability

Examined presumable cases from early stages of development and ran multiple simulations. In order to reduce unforeseen cases too numerous to list, a
1.3 million kilometer demonstration experiment was conducted. Based on the collected data, an additional 10 million patterns of simulation were conducted.
The verification activity will continue until the system is confirmed to be safe.
