Holistic perspectives on safety of ADSs
Abstract: In recent years, enormous investments in Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) have distinctly advanced ADS technologies. Despite promises made by several high profile auto-makers, it has however become clear that the challenges involved for deploying ADS have been drastically underestimated.
Contrary to previous generations of automotive systems, common design, development, verification and validation methods for safety critical systems must be complemented with new approaches to cope with the increased complexity and operational uncertainties of an ADS. In this talk I will present the key findings from a review paper conducted with the aim to provide an understanding of existing methods for providing safety evidence and, in particular, identifying the associated challenges and gaps pertaining to the use of each method. Four categories of methods: design techniques, verification and validation methods, run-time risk assessment, and run-time (self-)adaptation, are presented and the eight challenges (identified in the paper) help provide insights into a selection of the reviewed methods. Finally, the derived set of research gaps will be discussed.
