Arizona Taps Intel for Lead Role in Automated Vehicle Safety Institute
October 11 2018 - 9:30PM
Business Wire
What’s New: The state of Arizona today announced the
formation of the Institute for Automated Mobility to advance the
safe deployment of automated vehicles. Intel Corporation is a
founding partner of the new institute. This unique public-private
consortium will focus on the liability, regulatory and safety
implications of automated vehicles and will work to develop
standards and best practices for the industry to follow. The group
is already working on liability and regulatory research as well as
plans for an enclosed 2.1-mile safety test track.

“The Institute for Automated Mobility will
bring together global industry leaders, a public sector team and
the brightest minds in academia, focused on advancing all aspects
of automated vehicle science, safety and policy. Arizona is
committed to providing the leadership and knowledge necessary to
integrate these technologies into the world’s transportation
systems.”-- Doug Ducey, Arizona governor
Who is Involved: Founding partners include Intel,
the Arizona Department of Transportation, the Arizona Department of
Public Safety, the Arizona Commerce Authority, Arizona State
University, the University of Arizona and Northern Arizona
University.
Each founding partner has a seat on the board of directors to
provide governance, fiduciary oversight and strategic guidance for
the institute’s policies and priorities. Founding partners
determine research priorities and targeted outcomes and may sponsor
ancillary research.
How It Works: Each founding partner provides
important expertise:
- The Arizona Commerce Authority will
oversee the institute and direct its mission to shape the future of
automated transportation science, safety and policy.
- Academic partners will conduct research
and publish papers on important safety-related topics, including
liability questions surrounding automated vehicles involved in
accidents, compensation models and safety standards.
- Intel will work with all partners
offering Mobileye’s Responsibility Sensitive Safety (RSS)
model as a starting point for building their solutions. RSS is
already deployed by Baidu* in its Project Apollo and Apollo
Pilot Programs for Automated Driving.
- The Arizona Department of Public Safety
and Arizona Department of Transportation will build a traffic
incident management center to integrate law enforcement and first
responders with automated technologies unlike any other location in
the country.
Why It Matters: Automated vehicles will transform
the world as we know it. According to the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, traffic crashes in the U.S. claim more than
35,000 lives and cost more than $252 billion each year. What’s
more, 94 percent of serious crashes are caused by human error.
Automated vehicles can remove humans from the driving
scenario.1 A market opportunity and societal disruption of
this size demands validated safety and security standards that
don’t yet exist.
“The safety of automated vehicles is essential to establish
trust with consumers and governments so that we can all enjoy the
multifold benefits they will deliver,” said Jack Weast, senior
principal engineer at Intel and vice president of automated vehicle
standards at Mobileye. “By investing in the research of
technology-neutral solutions, policies and standards for safety,
Intel and the Institute for Automated Mobility will help build that
trust.”
What is RSS: Mobileye CEO Professor Amnon Shashua
first proposed RSS in 2017 as an open, transparent and
technology-neutral starting point for the industry to align on what
it means for an autonomous vehicle to drive safely. To put it
simply: While planning gets you from point A to point B, RSS helps
keep you safe along the way.
RSS formalizes human notions of safe driving into a verifiable
model with logically provable rules and defines appropriate
responses. Additionally, RSS ensures that only safe decisions are
made by the automated vehicle and that the automated vehicle will
do everything it can to avoid being involved in unsafe situations
initiated by others.
