While many observers think that autonomy is right around the corner, there
many unsettled issues. One such issue is availability, or how the vehicle
behaves in the event of a failure of one of its systems such as those with
the latest “by-wire” technologies. Handling of failures at a technical actuation
level could involve many aspects, including time of operation after first fault,
function/performance after first fault, and exposure after first fault. All of
these and other issues are affected by software and electronic and mechanical hardware.
Drive-by-wire and Automated Driving System Availability discusses the necessary systems
approach required to address these issues. Establishing an industry path forward for
these topics will simplify system development and provide a framework for consistent
regulation and liability, which is an enabler for the launch of autonomous vehicles.
