Abstract
Deals with design and the first step in the development of an electronic copilot (ECP). ECP is used within an autonomous vehicle as a partially redundant system for vehicle control. The ECP gets the necessary information from various sensors such as a laser scanner or vision sensors. At the current state of development it is applied to automatic braking in case of emergency. The paper contains an outline of the concept for the ECP. The current stage of development and first experimental results are presented
