Neural Networks for Safety-Critical Applications - Challenges, Experiments and Perspectives
We propose a methodology for designing dependable Artificial Neural Networks
(ANN) by extending the concepts of understandability, correctness, and validity
that are crucial ingredients in existing certification standards. We apply the
concept in a concrete case study in designing a high-way ANN-based motion
predictor to guarantee safety properties such as impossibility for the ego
vehicle to suggest moving to the right lane if there exists another vehicle on
its right.Comment: Summary for activities conducted in the fortiss

analyzed are available in the source fil
Safety-related challenges and opportunities for GPUs in the automotive domain
GPUs have been shown to cover the computing performance needs of autonomous driving (AD) systems. However, since the GPUs used for AD build on designs for the mainstream market, they may lack fundamental properties for correct operation under automotive's safety regulations. In this paper, we analyze some of the main challenges in hardware and software design to embrace GPUs as the reference computing solution for AD, with the emphasis in ISO 26262 functional safety requirements.Authors would like to thank Guillem Bernat from Rapita Systems for his technical feedback on this work.
