Ep. 12 — Ding Zhao, Autonomous Vehicle Safety/Testing (University of Michigan)

In this episode, we discuss autonomous vehicle safety and testing with Ding Zhao, Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Michigan. How will we know when AVs are safe enough to deploy? Will it take driving billions of road miles? We discuss his method of using accelerated evaluation techniques to more efficiently test safety scenarios and achieve confidence in AV safety.
