Who’s in control?
Whilst experts in embedded systems still argue, Toyota have been found liable for a 2007 fatal car crash.
Bugs in the source code relating to the throttle control being highlighted. As
we move towards self-driving cars it is not just software and electronic
reliability issues that need addressing. A recent conference on intelligent transport systems discussed how self-driving
cars deal with “exceptions”. Is there a danger that the technology will over
de-skill the task of driving? How does the self-driving car recognise a crisis
beyond its program capabilities and safely hand over control to the human
driver?
