Innovation Stream Overview
Working Groups
Working Groups are groups of experts dealing with certain aspects of the development of Global Reference Solutions.
In general, Working Groups will focus on developing recommendations, best practices, guidelines as well as reference implementations in a given area of automated driving.
The collection of such references, developed within The Autonomous Working Group, is named a Global Reference Solution.

Working Group Safety & Architecture
The scope of this Working Group is to define the state-of-the-art in safety architecture for safe self-driving cars (SAE L4 and higher).
The main technical areas of cooperation of the Working Group “Safety & Architecture” include:
- Defining a list of key terms, assumptions, and target safety goals for self-driving cars.
- Investigating multiple conceptual architecture candidates that meet the target safety goals. All members are encouraged to provide their conceptual architecture for discussion.
- Structuring the conceptual architecture into appropriate subsystems and defining fault-containment units.
- Communication subsystems that connect to sensors and actuators as part of the conceptual architecture.
