Foundational ISO standard for the safety of self-driving vehicles
Autonomous vehicle developers can now design and test their technology based on internationally aligned safety benchmarks.
WMG has led the establishment of the first international standard for safe operation of self-driving vehicles.
A major step towards commercialisation, the standard will be relevant to every self-driving vehicle developed and manufactured anywhere in the world.
WMG’s Safe Autonomy Research Group worked with global partners in the United States, Germany, Japan, China, France, Austria, Canada, Israel, Sweden, Finland, South Korea and Australia to develop and finalise the ISO standard.
Autonomous vehicle developers can now design and test their technology based on internationally aligned safety benchmarks, while international organisations, local governments and regulatory agencies can use it as a guide to develop their regulations and policies on self-driving vehicles.
Sarah Gates, Director of Public Policy at Wayve, said:
We look forward to continuing to work closely with WMG to ensure that safety standards for self- driving technology are rigorous, and to increase confidence in the exciting technology we are developing.
