Aurora's Fault Management System: Returning Safely to the Road

When driving a truck—or any vehicle for that matter—on the road, any number of things can happen that cause it to experience a fault. Fortunately, most of these are rare and can be mitigated with maintenance, inspections, and good system health monitoring tools. But while they’re rare, faults do happen. To operate on the road, the driver—be it a human or a self-driving system—must be equipped to safely detect, respond to, and recover from faults without unduly impacting service. In other words, a fault handling solution is necessary in order for an autonomous trucking product like Aurora Horizon to succeed at scale.

We shared an inside look at the first piece of the Aurora Driver’s fault management system, or FMS, last July, detailing how we’ve been training and testing the Aurora Driver to detect faults and safely pull over to the shoulder of the road. In December, with the release of Beta 5.0, we unlocked the capability to autonomously merge back into highway traffic from the shoulder of the road—the final piece of our end-to-end fault management solution. Together, these capabilities help us address key aspects within the Fail-Safe Principle of our Safety Case Framework, which outlines our evidence-based approach to demonstrating that Aurora Driver-powered vehicles are acceptably safe to operate on public roads.
