Experimental Conformance Evaluation onUBER ATG Safety Case Framework withANSI/UL 4600

The safety of Self-Driving Vehicles (SDVs) is crucial for social acceptance of self-driving technology/vehicles, and how to assure such safety is of great concern for automakers and regulatory and standardization bodies. ANSI/UL 4600 (4600) [3], a standard for the safety of autonomous products, has an impact on the regulatory regime of self-driving technology/vehicles due to its detailed and well defined assurance requirements on what will be required for the safety of autonomous products. One of the major characteristics of the standard is wide-scale adoption of the safety case, which has been traditionally used for safety assurance of safety-critical systems such as railways and automobiles.
