Supporting Process Design in the Autonomous Era with New Standards and Guidelines

Abstract

It isn’t easy to define a general and clear process in a new system such as an autonomous vehicle. The new technology is complex and lacks experience. In this paper, we reconsider the process used for system development. We assume that the process changes depending on the characteristics of a project [1]. Of course, this is a general agreement. In autonomous vehicles, new technological elements such as AI and ensuring safety are further required. So, it is meaningful to consider how to think about the development process. New standards, guidelines and documents such as UL4600 are emerging for autonomous vehicles. In addition to many standards, dealing with these presents difficulties. We believe that better process design is possible by using the Toulmin model.
