For professional drivers and controllers of autonomous vehicles the safety culture is of great importance in working and traffic environment. Companies that develop automated vehicles and machines need to acquire knowledge about how to integrate a good safety culture as part of the design and development processes as well as in the implementation of automated vehicles and machines. The aim of this pre-study was to explore safety culture in the development of automated vehicles and machines, to identify new risks and to prevent potential accidents. The scope of the pre-study 36 was to anchor the view of safety culture with industrial partners developing automated vehicles and machines. Through the exchange of knowledge, the need for a model of how to measure and work with safety culture as a factor in the development of automated vehicles, was defined.
