Why Work with TÜV Rheinland

A team of experts discusses automated driving validation and international regulatory frameworks using digital displays and an interactive table.

  • Proven Track Record in Automated Driving Approvals

    TÜV Rheinland supported the world's first Level 3 approval for highly automated driving (Mercedes-Benz, 2021) and the world's first Level 4 approval for Automated Valet Parking (Mercedes-Benz & Bosch, 2023) – developing the test procedures that were later incorporated into official regulations.

  • Active Role in Shaping Future Regulations

    Through participation in national and international regulatory committees, TÜV Rheinland brings deep insight into evolving approval frameworks – enabling targeted support for technologies where established test procedures do not yet exist.

  • One-Stop-Shop Across the Full Development Lifecycle

    From initial gap analysis and roadmap definition through engineering support, validation, and authority approval to fleet operations – TÜV Rheinland covers all phases of the ADS development and deployment process from a single source.

  • International Project Experience Across Multiple Markets

    With teams across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, TÜV Rheinland supports complex, multi-regional ADS projects – providing local regulatory expertise within a global project structure.
