[SystemSafety] Autonomous Vehicle Safety

[Derek M Jones]

Peter,

The authors make some simplistic assumptions, plug some
numbers in to basic statistical formula, plot some pretty
graphs, and then conclude that "...  testers cannot drive
their way to safety."
to meet the reliability required to meet the numbers plugged
in by the authors.

No attempt to show how the numbers they used connect to
human accident numbers.

To my non-automotive-expert eye, it looks like they decided
on a conclusion and then picked numbers to validate it.
