In this talk we recap general trends and su mmarize the current situation for autonomous vehicles such as robotaxis\, as well as conventional vehicles that have automated steering features. Ma ny of the issues the industry faces are self-inflicted\, stemming from a c ombination of inflated promises\, attempts to scale immature technology to o aggressively\, and an overly narrow view of safety. Overall\, the compan ies deploying the technology have failed to address legitimate concerns of a wide variety of stakeholders. There are a number of different aspects t hat still need to be addressed including: legislation\, regulation\, liabi lity\, insurance\, driver skills\, traffic enforcement\, emergency service s\, vulnerable road users\, engineering standards\, business models\, publ ic messaging\, investor pressure\, cultural change\, ethical/equity concer ns\, and local oversight. We concentrate on how all these pieces need to f it together to create sustainable automated vehicle technology approaches. \n\nProf. Philip Koopman is an internationally recognized expert on Autono mous Vehicle (AV) safety whose work in that area spans over 25 years. He i s also actively involved with AV policy and standards as well as more gene ral embedded system design and software quality. His pioneering research w ork includes software robustness testing and run time monitoring of autono mous systems to identify how they break and how to fix them. He has extens ive experience in software safety and software quality across numerous tra nsportation\, industrial\, and defense application domains including conve ntional automotive software and hardware systems. He is a faculty member o f the Carnegie Mellon University ECE department where he teaches software skills for mission-critical systems.\n\nIn 2018 he was awarded the highly selective IEEE-SSIT Carl Barus Award for outstanding service in the public interest for his work in promoting automotive computer-based system safet y. He originated the UL 4600 standard for autonomous system safety issued in 2020. In 2022 he was named to the National Safety Council's Mobility Sa fety Advisory Group. In 2023 he was named the International System Safety Society's Educator of the Year. He is the author of the books: Understandi ng Checksums & Cyclic Redundancy Codes (2024)\, How Safe is Safe Enough: m easuring and predicting autonomous vehicle safety (2022)\, The UL 4600 Gui debook (2022) and Better Embedded System Software (2010).\n\nCo-sponsored by: LM60369\, CN60369\, CH06074\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org /m/432542 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/432542 ORGANIZER:kim.parnell@stanfordalumni.org SEQUENCE:15 SUMMARY:Truths and Myths about Automated Vehicle Safety URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/432542 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Truths and Myths about Automated Vehicle S afety Webinar explores key aspects of safety surrounding automated vehicle s and autonomous driving.</p>\n<p>The past year has seen both peak hype an d significant issues for the automated vehicle industry.
