Intel and Mobileye come up with a formula to verify the safety of self-driving cars

Today, Professor Amnon Shashua, CEO of Mobileye and senior vice president of Intel, delivered a keynote speech at the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul, South Korea, where he provided the autonomous driving industry with a way to prove the safety of autonomous vehicles. This solution was published in Professor Amnon Shashua's academic paper and popular summary paper, which proposed a formal mathematical formula to verify that autonomous vehicles can drive in a responsible manner and will not cause traffic accidents due to the fault of the autonomous vehicle.

Intel and Mobileye come up with a formula to verify the safety of self-driving cars

Intel subsidiary Mobileye is a leader in autonomous technology and the world's largest supplier of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) cameras. With extensive experience in automotive automation and the evolution from ADAS to full automation, Professor Shashua and his colleagues developed a mathematical formula that can determine who is responsible and at fault in an accident when there is no human driver.

Their proposed responsibility-sensitive safety model provides concrete, measurable parameters for the human concept of responsibility, while defining a “safe state” in which an autonomous vehicle cannot cause an accident, regardless of how other vehicles react.

In his speech, Professor Shashua called on industry and policymakers to “work together to develop a standard to clarify accident liability” for use when human and autonomous vehicles inevitably come into conflict. He explained that all current regulations are built around the idea of ​​human drivers controlling the car, while autonomous vehicles require new parameters.
