## Summary

Junko Yoshida explains why AAA testing reveals that active driver-assist systems (ADAS) in US vehicles are unreliable, often disengaging abruptly or failing to recognize obstacles like soft test vehicles, due to a lack of federal safety standards and inconsistent OEM performance. She argues that Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) must be mandated alongside ADAS to ensure human drivers are alert during handovers, a requirement currently enforced in Europe but not the US. Meanwhile, Luke Van Osch and Steve Miller of Secret Location discuss creating the VR film The Great C, detailing their shift from error-prone 360-degree video rigs to Unreal Engine animation to achieve cinematic immersion and control viewer attention through spatialized sound and camera movement.
