How Many Operational Design Domains, Objects, and Events? Safe AI 2019 talk

Validating self-driving cars requires so, so much more than just "geo-fencing" if you want to make the problem tractable. My Safe AI 2019 paper and presentation explain and illustrate why this is the case.Paper: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/Koopman19_SAFE_AI_ODD_OEDR.pdfDownload slides: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/koopman19_SAFE_AI_slides.pdf(For...

How Road Testing Self-Driving Cars Gets More Dangerous as the Technology Improves

Safe road testing of autonomous vehicle technology assumes that human "safety drivers" will be able to prevent mishaps. But humans are notoriously bad at supervising autonomy. Ensuring that road testing is safe requires designing the test platform to have high "supervisability."...
