Human Test Scenario Bias in Autonomous Vehicle Validation

Human Test Scenario Bias:Machine Learning perceives the world differently than you do. That means your intuition is not necessarily a good source for test planning.Simulation-based testing (including especially closed-course testing of real vehicles) can suffer from a test planning...

Safety Argument Consideration for Public Road Testing of Autonomous Vehicles

Beth Osyk and I are presenting our paper at SAE WCX today on how to argue sufficient road test safety for self-driving car technology.See below slideshare or follow this link for presentation slides.Preprint of paper here:https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/koopman19_TestingSafetyCase_SAEWCX.pdfAbstract:Autonomous vehicle (AV) developers test extensively...

Nondeterministic Behavior and Legibility in Autonomous Vehicle Validation

Nondeterministic Behavior and Legibility:How do you know your autonomous vehicle passed the test for the right reason? What if it just got lucky, or is gaming the test?The nature of the algorithms used by autonomy systems creates problems for modelling and testing that go beyond...
