Failure of the car is not just a safety problem; it is a problem of brand image. The automotive industry cannot afford any errors.

Kick off day two with a look to the AV bubble. The AV industry is innovating at an unprecedented speed, but Level-4 AVs remain untamed.

Hear the necessity behind SOTIF in enforcing our accepted level of safety, testing and certainty in AVs, allowing for progressive testing and analysis in our road to level four vehicles in human scenarios.

• Should vs Must: the need for urgent action in implementing SOTIF and safety infrastructure in ADs and ADAS product design
• Appreciate the risk of putting products to market too early and causing unnecessary incidents
• The AV industry’s fate at the mercy of funding and the court of public opinion, the industry cannot suffer a major autonomous incident, or all hope is lost for all

When something is unknown, how are you going to accept the risks? Because risk is a measure of uncertainty.

Along with accepting residual risk is the concept of arguing for sufficient safety. Testing, analysis and evaluation will provide data and simulated scenarios to be considered in product design, but ultimately it comes down to the industry to debate what is sufficient.

Join fellow industry experts and debate the question: How good do we really have to be?

• At what point is safety considered good enough?
• How do you define good enough?
• What can we do to create a benchmark for sufficient safety?
• What technological advancements are needed in tightening the threshold for sufficient safety?
