Safety, Complexity, and Automated Driving: Holistic Perspectives on Safety Assurance
Simon Burton, John McDermid, Philip Garnett, Rob Weaver
Abstract
This article extends safety assurance approaches for automated driving by explicitly acknowledging the complexity of the emergent system behavior. We introduce a framework for reasoning about factors that contribute to this complexity as a means of structuring the interdisciplinary perspectives required to achieve an acceptable level of residual risk.
