Safety Validation and Edge Case Testing for Autonomous Vehicles (Slides)

Here is a slide deck that expands upon the idea that the heavy tail ceiling is a problem for AV validation. It also explains ways to augment image sensor inputs to improve robustness.

  1. very nice presentation. Since all fatal crashes are rare and unique events, I think they qualify as "edge" cases. there are also many thousands or millions of events every day that human drivers encounter and avoid a crash because they have foresight or anticipation of hazards. Neural networks have no foresight. Therefore, the goal of zero crashes with automated vehicles is a myth.
