Episode 17 (English) - Verification and standardization of autonomous vehicles - with Siddartha Khastgir
Dr Siddartha Khastgir is the Head of Verification & Validation of collaborative autonomous vehicles (CAV) at WMG, University of Warwick, UK. His research areas in the CAV domain include test scenario generation, safety, simulation-based testing, Safe AI among many others. He has received numerous national and international awards for his research contributions, including the prestigious UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, a seven-year Fellowship focused on safety evaluation of CAVs, and is a Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list maker. He is also the project leader for ASAM standardisation project - OpenODD, and an active participant at ASAM, SAE, ISO and UNECE discussions.
In this episode we talked about verification and validation of autonomous vehicles. This includes the advantages and challenges of simulations and how one research question raises several more questions. We also talked about the low-speed autonomous driving and about the new standard ISO 22737 “Low-Speed Automated Driving (LSAD) systems”. He was the lead author of that standard, as well as of ISO 34503 “Taxonomy for ODD”, where ODD stands for Operational design domain.
