Responsibility Sensitive Safety of Self-Driving Cars
Abstract
In recent years, car makers and tech companies have been racing towards self-driving cars. It seems that the main parameter in this race is who will have the first car on the road.
The goal of the talk is to add to the equation two additional crucial parameters. The first is standardization of safety assurance what are the minimal requirements that every self-driving car must satisfy, and how can we verify these requirements. The second parameter is scalability engineering solutions that lead to unleashed costs will not scale to millions of cars, which will push interest in this field into a niche academic corner, and drive the entire field into a "winter of autonomous driving". I will describe a white-box, interpretable, mathematical model for safety assurance, which we call Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS).
