SAE EDGE™ Research Reports are unique, fill a void and deliver value.

• These reports provide a structured framework and methodical approach for thinking about and working with rapidly shifting technologies, helping to inform decision-making and strategy.
• SAE EDGE Research Report contributors are experts from industry, academia and government who come together to explore and define the most critical advancements, challenges and future direction.
• They report on unsettled technologies, and are intended to:
  • Offer useful information for sorting through critical issues and charting a path forward
  • Contribute to a better understanding of, and help anticipate and solve, key challenges
  • Provide helpful suggestions about avenues of investigation from a broad knowledge base of subject-matter experts

Complex challenges of transformative technologies require bold actions. However, where does the process of developing solutions for advanced mobility start? How are the large-scale improvements in safety, energy, autonomy, or environment initiated? They demand a disciplined multi-step process that starts with a review of current technology and identification of the problem's root causes. This step is SAE EDGE Research Reports. Working with many world experts, SAE International sets the platform to break down advanced technical questions, starting with the review, discussion, and recommendation which are passed on to research, engineering development, standards-setting, and, where needed, rulemaking.
