Case context
BER 16-5: An engineer on a team developing a driverless/autonomous vehicle operating system was tasked with considering crash outcome algorithms; the BER found the engineer should participate fully in risk management and recommend further study if safety concerns remained unresolved
Compliance status
unclear
Confidence
0.9
Importance
medium
Obligated party
Autonomous Vehicle Development Engineer (BER 16-5)
Obligation statement
The engineer in BER 16-5 developing the autonomous vehicle operating system was obligated to fully and actively participate in the engineering risk management team, express clearly and unambiguously any concerns regarding the safety of the operating system's harm-minimization logic, and if necessary recommend further study before the operating system was deployed for public use.
Temporal scope
During development of the autonomous vehicle operating system, prior to deployment
Relationships
Source Evidence
Source text
The conclusions in Case 16-5 suggest the engineer fully and actively participate as a member of the engineering risk management team and express clearly and unambiguously concerns regarding safety of the operating system.
Text references
BER Case 16-5 is also instructive; it deals with an engineer working on a team developing a driverless/autonomous vehicle operating system.
The BER also suggested that, if necessary, the engineer recommend further study before the operating system is utilized.
The conclusions in Case 16-5 suggest the engineer fully and actively participate as a member of the engineering risk management team and express clearly and unambiguously concerns regarding safety of the operating system.
