Safety Assurance for Automated Driving (SAFAD)

Safety Assurance for Automated Driving (SAFAD) is a structured process to ensure that autonomous vehicles operate safely and reliably. It involves identifying potential risks, designing systems to prevent accidents, and continuously monitoring performance. SAFAD combines technical testing, real-world evaluation, and regulatory standards to build confidence that automated driving systems can handle various scenarios safely. The goal is to reduce accidents and protect passengers, pedestrians, and other road users by verifying that these vehicles meet strict safety requirements throughout their development and deployment.
