The way we use and think about mobility and transportation has changed significantly in the last years due to the developments in autonomous driving. A major emerging challenge is to provide safety guarantees to gain customers' trust. Current driver-assisting technologies have mostly advisory roles with limited autonomy and decision making responsibilities. Vehicles with full or shared autonomy have the potential to reduce the high incidence of vehicle-related deaths (over 3000 each month), most of them caused by driver error (over 70%). Thus, safety standards, which can be used for development by companies, and certification by legislators and administrators, can be very beneficial for autonomous driving.
