A Survey of Algorithms for Black-Box Safety Validation of Cyber-Physical Systems
Autonomous cyber-physical systems (CPS) can improve safety and efficiency for safety-critical applications, but require rigorous testing before deployment. The complexity of these systems often precludes the use of formal verification […]
Insuring Autonomy: Auto Insurance Will Lead Through Changing Risks
The introduction of autonomous vehicles (AVs) comes with significant public policy questions and challenges. This Travelers Institute® position paper, Insuring Autonomy: How auto insurance will lead through changing risks, outlines Travelers’ view of […]
AASHTO Connected and Automated Vehicle Policy Principles
The CAV Inter-committee Working Group introduced the CAV Policy Principles at a special “Connecting on CAVs” session at the 2021 AASHTO Annual Meeting. The purpose of these policy principles is […]
Normalizing Crash Risk of Partially Automated Vehicles under Sparse Data
The safety of increasingly automated vehicles is of great concern to regulators, yet crash rates are generally reported by manufacturers using proprietary metrics with limited source data. Without consistent definitions […]
Disengagement from driving when using automation during a 4-week field trial
A small body of research on the real-world use of commercially available partial driving automation suggests that drivers may struggle with or otherwise lapse in adequately monitoring the system and […]
Ensuring Safety and Empowering Stakeholders: Why Automated Vehicle Education Matters
Join members of the Partners for Automated Vehicle Education (PAVE) team in a discussion about why public education is essential to fully realize the potential of AV technologies. PAVE launched […]
Automation and Trucking: What Fleets Need to Know
Automated driving technologies are creating unprecedented changes on our roads and highways, and trucks are in the thick of this new frontier. Fleet owners and operators are invited to prepare […]
Change Point Models for Real-Time Cyber Attack Detection in Connected Vehicle Environment
Connected vehicle (CV) systems are subject to potential cyber attacks because of increasing connectivity between its different components, such as vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and traffic management centers. However, it is […]
Driverless Jobs: Autonomous Vehicles & A Just Transition for Black Drivers
Autonomous, or self-driving, vehicles are an emerging and disruptive technology that will restructure society. Autonomous vehicles have major implications not only for mobility, but also land use, the built environment, […]
Putting Zoox to the Test: Autonomous Track Testing
How do you train an autonomous vehicle to be ready for corner cases? At Zoox, we use two fundamental tools: simulation and structured testing. Simulation enables us to test and […]
