Safety Must Come First: WMG Professor on Cruise Pausing Driverless Operations to Rebuild Trust
Professor Siddartha Khastgir, Head of Verification and Validation at WMG, 神马福利影片, comments on to rebuild public trust.
鈥淪afety is the number one priority when commercialising self-driving vehicles, we should never compromise safety even though this is a fast-paced technology. The industry and autonomous vehicle developers and operators need to have a thorough review of the current incidents and be more open and transparent regarding their safety assurance processes and systems.
鈥淪afety messages and information should be communicated to the public to gradually build up societal trust and ensure that technology users and road users are well-informed about this new technology鈥檚 capabilities and limitations.
鈥淎s a world-leading research institution, WMG is working closely with international and national policymakers, regulators, and industry to improve the safety of self-driving vehicles. We encourage the ecosystem to collaborate further to gain the public鈥檚 confidence in this emerging transport technology.鈥�
