- Derive driving behavior functional requirements and parameters for US operations.
- Create functional scenarios associated with behavior requirements applicable to US operations.
- Collaborate with global V&V and test teams on establishing pass/fail and roadmanship criteria across various environments (HIL proving grounds, fleet, etc.) for the verification of driving behavior requirements.
- Establish triggering conditions for SOTIF scenarios and safety acceptance criteria for US deployment.
- Evaluate the sufficiency of the product Safety Assurance Case for US release and close gaps as needed.
- Develop safety plans and reports targeted for external stakeholders, including business partners, government agencies, and regulators (federal, state & local).
