Just-in-time Self-Verification of Autonomous Systems
Engineers and computer scientists are currently developing autonomous systems whose entire set of behaviors in future, untested situations is unknown: How can a designer foresee all situations that an autonomous road vehicle, a robot in a human environment, an agricultural robot, or an unmanned aerial vehicle will face? Keeping in mind that all these examples are safety-critical, it is irresponsible to deploy such systems without testing all possible situations---this, however, seems impossible since even the most important possible situations are unmanageably many. I propose a paradigm shift that will make it possible to guarantee safety in unforeseeable situations: Instead of verifying…
