    PERCeiVE (deriving PERceptual Confidence in cooperative Vehicular Environments) (CONNECT2-T4) will address the challenge of determining believe/confidence in cooperatively shared environmental perception data so that it can be trusted to make a control decision. Cooperative or collaborative perception is widely viewed as the panacea to truly realise autonomous driving, particularly in complex urban environments. The challenge of deriving strong confidence/belief in a vehicle’s perceived environment based on evidence (local & shared sensor readings) is under addressed, as such shared sensor readings may be subject to spatial correlations, occlusions, limited perception range, or sensor specific detection inaccuracies e.g. under certain weather conditions.
