With the addition of two more locations in Florida and Germany, we have tested AVs in ten cities in six countries across three continents around the world.
Since its introduction in 2017, Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS) has become a leading model for global AV safety frameworks. Numerous standards bodies are beginning to include RSS in their standards. Regulators and policymakers are looking at RSS as tool for defining what it means for an AV to drive "safely." Researchers are digging into the application of RSS and looking for the boundaries of its efficacy.
Standards progress has been especially robust, as RSS has advanced its way into both IEEE and ISO standards efforts recently. Intel Senior Principal Engineer and Mobileye VP of Automated Vehicle Standards Jack Weast is chairing the IEEE effort to adopt a formal technical standard known as IEEE P2846: A Formal Model for Safety Considerations in Automated Vehicle Decision Making. The workgroup includes other industry representatives from, amongst others, Aptiv, Uber, FCA, Google, Nvidia and more. The full membership list (still growing) and progress on the newly-formed IEEE workgroup can be found here. If all goes as planned, IEEE 2846 1.0 will be published early next year.
In addition to the IEEE effort, ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) has also adopted the Safety First for Automated Driving (SaFAD) paper as a technical report, which is widely seen as a first step toward turning it into a standard. This paper was published by Intel and 10 other automotive industry representatives (BMW, Daimler, VW, and more), and includes RSS in the Drive Planning Element. China ITS, the standards body for the world’s largest passenger vehicle market, has approved a proposal to use RSS as the basis for a forthcoming AV safety standard.
In addition to these standards organizations, businesses and think-tanks are also working with RSS:
