Abstract:

Over the last decades we have managed to build quite sophisticated dependable systems, like airplanes or power plants. However, the complexity of autonomous systems like self-driving cars is unprecedented, and so is their safety assurance. In this talk, I will discuss conceptual architecture as the foundation for safe autonomous systems, followed by practical design considerations and challenges. I will present some formal verification studies and discuss possible strategies to achieve dependability of systems that incorporate ML components.
