Room 1
Safety innovations and best practices for their development and deployment
The AV landscape is rapidly evolving, presenting new complexities that demand robust, safe and secure software systems. The presentation will explore the field of autonomous systems with a focus on application safety and security for all levels of autonomous algorithms with various types of sensors and how to extend AV system lifecycle through the creation of interconnected systems of systems. This will include the critical aspects of data flow management, cloud data aggregation and the establishment of a comprehensive distributed secure system lifecycle. These elements are essential for developing safe and secure AV environments that can adapt to the increasing demands of future AVs.
- How unsafe and unsecure vehicles hurt the industry and what to do about it
- How to secure the software lifecycle both to and from the vehicle including upgrades via the cloud and V2X applications.
- Security is a moving target, with increasing complexities that require systems to adapt to the evolving threat landscape
- Fault tolerance is necessary in keeping autonomous systems performing without lengthy downtimes and reboots
