Location: Indigo D
Jeffrey Wishart
Fellow/VP of Innovation, Mobility, Science Foundation of Arizona/Arizona Commerce Authority
Presentation Description
We plan to two panels addressing these areas: 1) ADS communicating intent to and taking direction from emergency personnel and other road workers and 2) Operational risk management and absence of unreasonable risk + Continuous improvement + Performance measurement and thresholds. The plan is to “arm” the audience with information and context leading into the workshop in the second half of the breakout.
The format for the whole session will be to have the panels for the first half discussing how standards, best practices and other references are/can be used to facilitate the safe scale/deployment of automated vehicles. We hope to also identify any additional areas for standardization and research needed to support standardization. Then the second half of the breakout will be a workshop where each table assumes the role of city manager and then assume the role of ADS developer to identify needs, priorities, discuss approaches, and come up with next steps.
