• Abstract: Our transportation world is rapidly transforming induced by an ever increasing level of autonomy. However, to obtain license of fully automated vehicles for widespread public use, it is necessary to assure safety of the entire system, which is still a challenge. This holds in particular for AI-based perception systems that have to handle a diversity of environmental conditions and road users, and at the same time should robustly detect all safety relevant objects (i.e no detection misses should occur). Yet, limited training and validation data make a proof of fault-free operation hardly achievable, as the perception system might be exposed to new, yet unknown objects or conditions on public roads. Hence, new safety approaches for AI-based perception systems are required. For this reason we propose in this paper a novel hierarchical monitoring approach that is able to validate the object list from a primary perception system, can reliably detect detection misses, and at the same time has a very low false alarm rate.

  We will introduce and define a family of approaches to AI safety, which we will refer to as guaranteed safe (GS) AI. The core feature of these approaches is that they aim to produce AI systems which are equipped with high-assurance quantitative safety guarantees. We outline a number of approaches for creating each of these three core components, describe the main technical challenges, and suggest a number of potential solutions to them.

  Multiple object tracking (MOT) is a fundamental component of perception systems for autonomous driving. Despite the urge of safety in driving systems, no solution to the MOT adaptation problem to domain shift in test-time conditions has ever been proposed. We introduce DARTH, a holistic test-time adaptation framework for MOT.

  Vision-based controllers can make erroneous predictions when faced with novel or out-of-distribution inputs. In this work, we introduce a run-time anomaly monitor to detect and mitigate such closed-loop, system-level failures. We validate the proposed approach on an autonomous aircraft taxiing system that uses a vision-based controller for taxiing.

Through our contributions, we aid practitioners in safely adopting these systems, help reduce car thefts, and enhance driver security.

In our approach, the need to analyze an underlying controller is abstracted away, instead focusing on the effects of the controller's decisions on the system's future states.

We generate a physically-realizable, adversarial 3D-printed object that misleads an AD system to fail in detecting it and thus crash into it. Our results show that the attack achieves over 90% success rate across different object types and MSF.
