Professor at Carnegie Mellon University who works on self-driving car safety and dependable embedded systems, principal technical contributor to the ANSI/UL 4600 autonomous-vehicle safety standard and author of How Safe Is Safe Enough? He writes the Safe Autonomy blog, which is largely an argument that the industry's public safety claims do not survive contact with the statistics.
