Sessions

How should safety algorithms handle the toughest scenarios in autonomous driving?

5 | Challenge Your Peers

Monday, June 30

05:00 pm - 06:00 pm

Live in San Francisco

Less Details

  • How do rule-based and AI-based algorithms compare in unstructured or unpredictable environments?
  • What methods best ensure transparency and traceability in AI-driven safety decisions?
  • How scalable are simulation and formal verification for validating edge-case behavior?
  • What are the most reliable strategies for safe driver takeover and control transitions?
  • In what way should AVs resolve conflicting risks in high-stakes, ambiguous scenarios?
Workshop

Advancements in safety algorithms for autonomous obstacle avoidance and scenario handling

Case Study

Tuesday, July 01

10:00 am - 10:30 am

Live in San Francisco

Less Details

This presentation highlights recent research on safety algorithms that enhance autonomous vehicle decision-making in real-time. Focusing on obstacle avoidance, pedestrian interactions, and takeover situations, we explore how advanced logic and AI models work together to ensure safe responses in complex environments. Results from both simulation and real-world tests reveal key insights for improving AV safety and readiness for deployment.

In this session, you will learn more about:

  • Improved obstacle and pedestrian handling using hybrid safety algorithms
  • Critical considerations for safe and timely vehicle takeovers
  • Scenario-based testing as a foundation for validating AV safety functions
