0940 - 1010 CHALLENGES FACING REGULATORS AND POLICY MAKERS WITH AV DEPLOYMENT

- AV technology is posing numerous challenges to regulators and policymakers. Under-regulation can endanger human life, but over-regulation can hamper innovation
- Because AV technology will be deployed on electric vehicle platforms, it is bringing a convergence of three established industries: the power industry, communication industry and transportation industry. Collaboration in policies and regulations is therefore necessary

1010 - 1040 ENABLING THE DEPLOYMENT OF TRUE DRIVERLESS VEHICLES

- As autonomous vehicles move from the current prototyping phase into first deployments without safety drivers, the computing complex needs to evolve dramatically, maintaining the performance but reducing size, weight, power and cost, and increasing its safety and security
- Looking at the new technologies that will enable that computing evolution without having to re-architect the large software stack that is “driving” the vehicle

1330 - 1400 ANALYSIS OF HAZARDS FOR AUTONOMOUS DRIVING

- Hazard analysis is the core of numerous approaches to safety engineering, including the functional safety standard ISO-26262 (FuSa) and Safety of the Intended Function (SOTIF) ISO/PAS 21448
- Addressing the immense challenge associated with the scope of training and testing for rare hazard for Autonomous Drivers, leading to the need to train and test on > 108 naturalistic miles
- Introducing a dynamic hazard approach whereby autonomous drivers continuously monitor for potential and developing hazard, and estimate their Time to Materialization (TTM)

1400 - 1430 AI SAFETY FOR COMPUTER VISION

- Autonomous vehicles use AI to detect pedestrians, traffic lights, the lane and many other objects in traffic
- When an AV encounters something new, the prediction will be wrong, like in the various accidents of Tesla AutoPilot
- Introducing a technology to detect these prediction errors in AI-based Computer Vision systems, with the capability to initiate a minimal risk manoeuvre, and to continuously adapt the fleet's AI to a changing environment

1100 - 1130 MITIGATE SPECTRUM CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH V2X

- With different auto manufacturers and countries supporting one standard over another, the challenge lies in making the technologies work together and co-exist – despite spectrum interference that can adversely impact vehicle operation and passenger safety
- How radio designers can find the right filtering product to mitigate interference – ones that have enough attenuation in adjacent bands to deliver good receiver sensitivity – to get the full benefit of wider frequency bands
- Not every coexistence filter solution works in the unique automotive environment
