When Stopping Fails: Rethinking Minimal Risk Conditions through Human-Interactive Autonomous Driving for Safe Transportation Systems
Yash Tandon, Giovanni Tapia Lopez, Marcus Blennemann, Mohan Trivedi, Ross Greer
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are increasingly deployed in urban environments, yet their safety frameworks remain primarily designed around collision avoidance and minimal risk condition (MRC) behaviors such as slowing or stopping when uncertainty arises. Although effective in reduci…
