Our Safety Case Framework
What is considered acceptably safe in the self-driving industry?
To evaluate and demonstrate the safety of Aurora Driver-powered vehicles, we have published the industry’s first Safety Case Framework for autonomous trucks and passenger vehicles.
Aurora’s Safety Case Framework is a structured argument composed of hundreds of claims covering the safety of our organization, operations, products, and the development of our technology.
These claims serve as governing principles and reflect our organizational and operational safety approach, ensuring that safety and integrity are prioritized in our beliefs, behaviors, and decisions.
