👉 On Autonomous Driving Safety, I’ve Recently Begun to Question a “Self-Evident” Assumption
An exploration of why autonomous driving safety cannot be evaluated using human-era assumptions, and how redefining “accidents” leads to a deeper examination of the structural constraints embedded in today’s dominant safety validation and governance frameworks.
👉 Have We Overestimated “Validation” and Underestimated the Complexity of the World?
An examination of why mileage-based validation and closed testing environments fail to establish real safety in autonomous driving, and how rethinking verification through the lenses of system evolution, world complexity, and engineering philosophy reveals the structural limits of today’s dominant autonomy frameworks.
👉Is Autonomous Driving More Socially Accepted the More It “Follows the Rules”?
An examination of why “being more rule-abiding” does not automatically translate into higher social acceptance for autonomous driving, and how many real-world frictions arise from legibility and expectation alignment rather than formal compliance. It argues that trust is built through socially interpretable behavior and coordination under uncertainty—pointing to social embeddedness, not rule coverage, as the missing dimension in today’s evaluation and deployment logic.
