Autonomous mobility will not be defined solely by how well vehicles can drive themselves, but by how safely they can respond when conditions become uncertain. Complex traffic environments, unpredictable human behavior, adverse weather conditions, sensor limitations, and cyber threats raise a critical question: can autonomous vehicles remain reliable when real-world conditions don’t go according to plan? This panel will explore the technologies, standards, and safety strategies needed to develop autonomous vehicles capable of perception, risk management, and safe real-time decision-making. Particular attention will be given to system redundancy, artificial intelligence, vehicle connectivity, and the interaction between autonomous vehicles, infrastructure, and other road users. Through the perspectives of industry, technology leaders, and researchers, the panel will raise the question of how the safety, reliability, and resilience of autonomous systems can shape user and societal trust in the mobility of the future.
