will need standards that definitively assign fault when collisions occur . To this end , Intel is collaborating with the industry and policymakers on how safety performance is measured and interpreted for autonomous cars . Setting clear rules for fault in advance will bolster public confidence and clarify liability risks for consumers and the automotive and insurance industries .”
Already , Intel and Mobileye have proposed a formal mathematical model called Responsibility-Sensitive
Safety ( RSS ) to ensure , from a planning and decision-making perspective , the autonomous vehicle system will not issue a command leading to an accident . It provides specific and measurable parameters for the human concepts of responsibility and caution and defines a ‘ Safe State ’, where the autonomous vehicle cannot be the cause of an accident , no matter what action is taken by other vehicles .
