About
SDAD (Safe and Defensive Autonomous Driving) is an ECCV 2026 full-day workshop in Malmö. We organize around three core problems:
- What dangers appear in driving scenes—including latent hazards that are difficult to observe?
- How can autonomous vehicles learn defensive driving under uncertainty and long-tail situations?
- How can we evaluate defensive driving behaviors beyond trajectory-centric benchmarks?
Tentative Program
6 invited talks, 3 spotlight talks, 2 poster sessions, and 1 panel.
