Abstract

There are always submerged risks involved with advanced technology; therefore, it is necessary for policymakers, inventors and technology companies to scrutinise potential risks when they consider implementing new technology. This paper attempts to extract generic lessons from a failure relevant to autonomous transport systems. We use fault tree analysis (FTA), a reliability block diagram (RBD) approach and failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), for analysing a fatal pedestrian accident caused by a level-3 self-driving car in 2018. The work highlights the importance of prematurity of test driving selfdriving cars on public roads and the potential of an insightful analysis method that can capture human factors. In this work we theorise accident reporting systems, and provide a framework for triple loop learning.
