Collision avoidance system (CAS) is used here to refer to a system that can intervene as distinct from merely warn of an impending collision. Reliability is one factor in a critical area of the capability of such systems. This paper first considers the need for such systems to be demonstrably reliable and capable if they are to meet inevitable and potentially stringent liability requirements on designers and manufacturers. It explains what liability requirements exist in Europe now and how they might bear on the particular nature of CASs. It identifies the importance of controllability in apportioning liability between the system designer and manufacturer and the driver. After looking at CASs as part of a progression of automotive developments that aim to interpret and give effect to driver intention, the paper focuses on one representative aspect, namely the particular difficulty of ensuring reliability of the software. The paper describes one possible approach which embodies the concept of controllability, to show how confidence in the reliability of CASs might be achievable in practice by a progressive approach. |
