The development of AI systems for autonomy is very focused on building robust models for neural networks and perhaps less so on how these systems should be made functionally safe for deployment. This presentation will discuss these challenges and propose solutions for successful, safe deployment in tomorrow’s autonomous vehicles.
· Outline the safety challenge faced by AI developers
· Demonstrate an open and safe path to success for autonomous systems
