Validation Framework Applied to the Decision-Making Process for an Autonomous Vehicle Crossing Road Intersections

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Validation and Verification of Automated Systems

Abstract

Through the media almost on a daily basis, we hear of the benefits and potential brought by Autonomous Vehicles to society. This is referred in terms of accessibility to land transportation for people unable to drive, improving driver productivity by reducing or eliminating altogether the driving load and improving safety by minimising driver errors [1].
