Whack All Your Moles at Once: Addressing Hidden Safety Flaws in Autonomous Vehicles

12th Jul 2023

By Lorenzo Niccolini and Hamish Scott     The reason we still don’t have ubiquitous AVs is that dealing with the tail-end complexities of the real world turns out to be really hard. A manifestation of this is the ‘whack-a-mole’ problem: you – an AV/ADAS developer – encounter a problem with the vehicle’s performance on… Continue reading Whack All Your Moles at Once: Addressing Hidden Safety Flaws in Autonomous Vehicles

Developing autonomous vehicles requires planning for the unexpected …

27th Jun 2022

…including changes to the Highway Code. Kiran Jesudasan, Transportation Systems Specialist at dRISK, explains why developers need to change their assumptions if AVs are ever to be commercially deployed at scale. On 29th January 2022, changes were introduced to the Highway Code following public consultation. In essence, a new hierarchy of road users has been… Continue reading Developing autonomous vehicles requires planning for the unexpected …

Can an Autonomous Vehicle handle a storm?

1st Apr 2022

Storms often provide a test for British infrastructure and the early months of 2022 saw Storm Eunice, swiftly followed by Franklin, give the sternest of examinations. Sadly the UK transport infrastructure weakness in such an environment was exposed with more pressure being put on the UK roads as commuters would turn to cars to get… Continue reading Can an Autonomous Vehicle handle a storm?
