Presentation

A Data-Driven Safety Evaluation Framework for Highly Automated Driving

Imagine a machine which ingests ADS real-world driving logs and simulation results and emits a safety evaluation with good traceability to the source data. Further imagine that this machine is automated and forms a part of the CI/CD and safety validation flows. Why would we want such a machine? What would it look like? Which enabling technologies would be needed? How would different stakeholders (e.g. AV developers, fleet operators, insurance firms, govt. authorities) extract value from it? I will answer these questions in my talk and present a blueprint for ADS safety evaluation that can be utilized by AV developers as well as various third parties.
