Live Talk: Challenges in Autonomous Vehicle Safety Assessment

Challenges in Autonomous Vehicle Safety Assessment

Recorded live at a US DOT workshop on May 29, 2024.

Knowing whether an autonomous vehicle is safe enough to operate on public roads is an extremely difficult challenge. Assessment must include acknowledging that operating millions of miles does not come close to proving safety, that robot drivers will make mistakes -- often the same mistakes people make, fundamental incompatibilities between conventional safety engineering processes and the machine learning technology used by these systems, a pervasive lack of automotive safety standard adoption by the industry, and important considerations of safety that go far beyond net statistical risk.
