SDAD 2026
ECCV 2026 Workshop on Safe and Defensive Autonomous Driving
SDAD 2026 is a non-archival workshop affiliated with ECCV 2026, held in Malmö, Sweden, focusing on safe and defensive autonomous driving. It addresses core challenges including latent hazard detection, decision-making under uncertainty, and evaluation beyond trajectory-centric benchmarks, featuring keynote talks, oral and poster presentations, and best paper awards.
Paper fit
Contribution paths
