Safety in the Loop: Scaling Autonomous Vehicle Safety Through Industry Standards

Building safe, scalable Level 4 autonomous vehicles requires more than cutting-edge technology. It demands rigorous engineering, independent validation, and a robust, standardized safety framework. NVIDIA recently completed an independent assessment of the Level 4 safety management planning for DRIVE AV on the Hyperion platform, conducted by TÜV Rheinland, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification. In this livestream, NVIDIA experts Tina Kirschner and Anitha Anand will discuss what it takes to develop and validate L4 systems, and why industry standards are essential for scaling safety. They’ll be joined by Thomas Quernheim, SVP of Automotive Engineering & Homologation at TÜV Rheinland, who will share insights from the assessment process and the evolving regulatory landscape. What attendees will learn: - How emerging AI safety standards such as ISO PAS 8800 and ISO TS 22440 introduce new safety requirements and considerations. - How industry standards inform and strengthen NVIDIA’s safety approach beyond basic checklist compliance. - How NVIDIA Halos provides OEMs with a robust safety foundation to develop and scale L4 autonomous systems. Presented By: - Thomas Quernheim | Senior Vice President Mobility, TÜV Rheinland Group - Anitha Anand | AV Functional Safety Manager, NVIDIA - Tina Kirschner | Regulatory Affairs Specialist, NVIDIA
