I'd like to revisit this point in light of the recent Uber news, but
also let's not forget for example this one which is simpler than fully
autonomous cars:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009–11_Toyota_vehicle_recalls
I'm not in the industry, and I'd be surprised that unverified software
were allowed to run in civilian environments where failures basically
amount to a very dangerous situation. True, a human driver is still
required to be ready, but let's not be disingenuous about how well that
can work for several hours of testing/driving.
After a bit of googling around I see that there are automotive standards
for certification (the one I see more often mentioned is ISO 26262).
About enforcement, I also read that regulation varies by US state. I
haven't found anything definite about Europe.
Also, it's not the same software for a drive-by-wire part than for an
autonomous car.
I'm under the impression that these autonomous car outfits are at the
time closer to a research environment than to that of a well-established
industry. I.e., code is produced faster, hence bugs are more likely.
In the end I'm not sure where I want to go with this post. It's simply
that I find the topic very interesting. If anyone with actual knowledge
on the status of automotive software certification (or any informed
ideas) would share some thoughts I'll be eager to read.
Álex.
