[SystemSafety] Autonomous Vehicle Safety

[Prof. Dr. Peter Bernard Ladkin]

Bruce Schneier's latest CryptGram points to a 2016 paper answering the question of how many driving 
miles it would take to demonstrate autonomous vehicle safety. Given that there are some people on 
this list who have been dealing with such calculations for decades, I thought it worth sharing the 
link and asking for comments.

I haven't read the paper. Elsevier wants $9.50 for 24 hours rental and $55.20 for purchase. If you 
are affiliated with an institution that subscribes to Elsevier packages, maybe you can get it at no 
cost (to you).

On the other hand, since the first author is at RAND, maybe there is a report to download at no 
charge. Indeed so, through
