Are you AV safety ready

Assure your environment is ready for deployment.

You don’t pull out into traffic without a quick assessment. Is your path clear? Do you feel comfortable driving in these weather conditions? Are you and your vehicle functioning properly? Planning for and deploying an AV isn’t any different. First, we assess. Are you AV safety ready? What do you—or don’t you—have in place to assure a safe deployment? Assessing the risks and understanding any gaps in your AV readiness are key first steps on your path to autonomy.

A step toward AV readiness: ODD risk assessments powered by dRISK

With their complexities and sophistication, AVs continue to uncover challenging traffic situations, called edge cases, which increase deployment risk. A holistic route assessment based on quantitative data is critical to ensuring a feasible and safe operating environment. Focused on identifying and mapping all of the risks within an AV’s operating environment by using an unprecedented scale and variety of data, dRISK is a key component of our scenario-based approach to analyzing any Operational Design Domain (ODD) to enable safe AV operations.

Developing what you need: Learning from others

One of the industries we continue to learn from is aviation. With a huge focus on eliminating human error to increase safety, the aviation industry is full of operational best practices that we can tap into to further our quest for AV deployment safety. One example is the Icarus Ops digital checklist platform, designed with knowledge gained through years of aviation risk mitigation experience. Whether during manufacturing, operations, or maintenance, people who work with autonomous vehicles can make mistakes. We’re focused on reducing the risks.
