Session Description

Public Sector Infrastructure Owner Operators (IOOs) face many challenges and barriers to implementing roadway automation. At the same time, the private sector (OEMs, Tier 1 and Infrastructure Suppliers), consultants and academia are moving at a scale and pace that significantly exceed IOO’s readiness to engage and capacity to adapt. This creates roadblocks for innovation. The objective of this breakout session is to create a better, mutual understanding of IOO’s and private sector assumptions and needs. The focus will be on finding workable solutions to

overcome roadblocks and institutional barriers. This will support effective partnerships between private and public partners and help IOOs adopt and implement the automated and connected technologies that are currently being developed at a rapid pace.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

• Candid conversations to facilitate open and tangible dialogue on how to support near term investment and deployment opportunities between IOOs and private sector • Better private sector understanding of IOOs and how to engage State DOTs / IOOs. • Identify real, near-term partnership opportunities: between State DOTs / IOOs and the Private Sector. Discuss where DOTs are planning to invest and what specific things are needed prior to making investment commitments • Facilitate learning and identify a conceptual framework for sharing information and learning from the pilots, demonstrations and initial deployments. • Summary of institutional barriers and actionable steps to address barriers • Tangible prioritized next steps oriented roundtable discussions to facilitate continued partnership conversations following the breakout for all participants. • Overall, increased State DOT participation and engagement

Shark Tank III: Active Debate regarding AVs impact on Land Use; Resiliency; Congestion Pricing; High-Speed Rail

Room: Crystal E/F

Organizers

Dr. Richard Mudge, President, Compass Transportation and Technology Dr. Alain Kornhauser, Professor and Director of Transportation Program, Princeton University Dr. Steven Polzin, Program Director, Mobility Policy Research at Center for Urban Transportation Research, University of South Florida Dr. Sven Beiker, Managing Director, Silicon Valley Mobility

Session Description

The Shark Tank format stimulates active debate on topics with important implications for the future of autonomous vehicles. Topics cover policy, planning, regulations, economics, and of course technology. The sharks highlight issues that may have been overlooked or that would benefit from a frank debate. All modes are covered. Formal speeches are kept to a minimum. A group of commentators (the sharks) ask provocative questions and may engage in debate among themselves as well as with the presenter and the audience. Ample time is allowed for comments and questions from the audience. A sense of humor is encouraged.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

Considerable controversy exists regarding how AVs will affect society – and whether these impacts are positive or negative. Even when no consensus can be found, we expect that an active debate will provide useful insights regarding four issues. History shows the debate can be intriguing and often humorous in tone. • Land use impact, with an emphasis on the battle between city center and suburbs; • Are AVs resilient? Will they help or hinder our response to natural disasters? • Does competition from AVs make high-speed rail an unattractive option? • Will AVs make it easier to implement congestion pricing and mileage-based user fees? Agenda

Sharks – debate leaders • Dr. Alain Kornhauser, Princeton University • Brad Templeton, Singularity University

• Sharon Feigon, Executive Director, Shared-Use Mobility Center • Avery Ash, Inrix • Dr. Richard Mudge, Compass Transportation and Technology

1:30 PM – 2:15 PM Land Use: Can both center cities and suburbs win?

There is an active and often emotional debate regarding how AVs might affect urban land use. Will center cities benefit since residents will not need to own cars, freeing the use of parking for other uses – or will the ability to multi-task in vehicles encourage longer commutes to suburbs? Or will both outcomes occur? What policies might help encourage one or the other outcome? • Sharon Feigon, Executive Director, Shared-Use Mobility Center

2:15 PM – 3:00 PM Are AVs resilient? Do they help or hinder the response to natural disasters? AVs are likely to be shared vehicles. How will this affect responses to natural disasters? Who has first call on nearby AVs? Who will be left behind? Are there ways to take advantage of a mobile fleet during a disaster? • Dr. Steven Polzin, Senior Advisor for Research and Technology, US DOT

3:00 PM – 3:30 PM Break

3:30 PM – 4:15 PM Will AVs save lives or will they be too little too late? New cars come equipped with a growing range of sensors and new technologies. These include automatic braking, lane tracking, adaptive cruise control etc. While these tools are not yet consistent, and we lack data regarding safety impacts, they will be deployed much sooner than level 4 and level 5 automated technologies. Will the safety gains from these technologies outpace potential benefits from autonomous vehicles? • Jack Weast, Sr. Principal Engineer at Intel and Vice President of Automated Vehicle Standards at Mobileye

4:15 PM – 5:00 PM Do AVs mean the end of high-speed rail (and short-haul aviation)? AVs will be used for intercity travel. Indeed, some propose dedicated AV lanes for intercity travel. What impact might this have on existing (or planned) intercity modes? Will point-to- point service possible with AVs take market share away from short-haul aviation and high- speed rail? How about the curb-side bus market? What are some of the financial, investment, and environmental implications? • Baruch Feigenbaum, Reason Foundation

Energy and Environmental Implications of Connected and Automated Vehicles: Trends in Industry, Research, Regulations and Policy

Room: Crystal M/N

Organizers

Morteza Taiebat, University of Michigan Dimitris Assanis, Assanis & Associates Inc.

Sponsored by: ADC70: TRB Standing Committee on Transportation Energy ADC70(3): TRB Subcommittee on Energy & Demand Implications of Connected & Automated Vehicles

Session Description

The goal of the session is to explore current issues related to the potential energy and emissions implications of connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies. The session aims to understand the perspectives of consumers and industry participants (automakers and Tier 1 suppliers) and their responses to potential regulatory actions (e.g. off-cycle credits, CAFE, and EV mandates) related to CAVs. The session will engage active researchers and key stakeholders to amalgamate perspectives and create a unifying vision for the adoption of energy-efficient CAVs. The ultimate goal is to provide robust, policy acceptable solutions that broaden the purpose of CAVs from one primarily driven by safety, mobility and convenience to an implemented (or adopted) technology that also decreases energy and environmental impacts.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

This session attempts to examine: • Several energy saving opportunities enabled by vehicle automation and connectivity. • Whether a viable business case exists for including these technologies in production CAVs. • Specific policy measures that could create the necessary incentives for auto manufacturers to include these technologies on their vehicles and for consumers to use them to create real-world energy savings. This session will also identify research needs to guide researchers, policymakers and vehicle manufacturers interested in not only developing energy-savings applications for CAVs but seeing them adopted by industry and consumers.

Agenda

1:30 PM – 1:45 PM: Opening Remarks • Morteza Taiebat, University of Michigan • Dimitris Assanis, Assanis & Associates Inc.

1:45 PM – 2:30 PM Distinguished Speaker NEXT-Generation Energy Technologies for Connected and Automated On-Road Vehicles • Dr. Chris Atkinson, Program Director, Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) - U.S. Department of Energy The distinguished speaker discusses the projects that make up ARPA-E's NEXTCAR Program, short for "NEXT-Generation Energy Technologies for Connected and Automated On-Road Vehicles," are enabling technologies that use connectivity and automation to co-optimize vehicle dynamic controls and powertrain operation, thereby reducing energy consumption of the vehicle.

Regulatory Policy for Automated Vehicles

Room: Canary 3 Organizers

Baruch Feigenbaum, Assistant Director Transportation Policy, Reason Foundation Anita Kim, Technology Policy Lead, Volpe Center Shaun Kildare, Research Director at Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety

Nick Wood, Assistant Research Engineer, Texas A&M Transportation Institute

Session Description

In recent years, there have been multiple pieces of legislation introduced at both the Federal and State levels regarding automated vehicle testing and operation. While many States have been successful in enacting legislation, no Federal legislation has been passed due to a lack of consensus on the amount and type of regulation related to safety and operations. Policymakers face many challenging questions such as: 1) the operation of vehicles with different SAE levels of automation operating on the roadway at the same time; 2) the challenge of regulating a developing technology; 3) different priorities of various advocacy groups; 4) the roles of federal, state and local governments; 5) the role of safety requirements and insurance; and 6) the roles and priorities of passenger vehicles and their relationship to transit, heavy duty vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. The purpose of this session is to enable straight policy talk on previous AV legislation and regulation, current realities/challenges of legislation, and future policy and legislation. The session will focus on key areas of consensus and where there are stumbling blocks for broader legislative development on AVs. It plans to include a mix of public and private officials to allow communication between all AV actors.

Outputs

This session will provide any conference attendees interested in public policy (including legislators, legislative staff, government staff, university researchers, non-profit associations and private sector companies) an overview of current AV regulatory policy and future trends. Attendees will leave this session with a better understanding of the current AV regulatory process including past successes/failures, current priorities at both the federal and state level and differences in regulatory approaches amongst the states. Attendees can use what they learn in this session to shape policy at the federal, state or local level. Private sector companies can better understand how the regulatory climate shapes policy.

Goals/Objectives • Learn the details of current AV regulatory policy • Understand successes and failures of legislation and regulatory policy • Grasp the different challenges and priorities at the federal, state and local level • Support development of AV policy development

Candidate, University of California, Berkeley, Law School

Session Description

For those who have been speculating about what the trial of an AV crash may look like, this session will provide a glimpse of the potential issues, arguments, evidence, and outcomes. How will jurors grapple with questions regarding whether an AV was defectively designed, whether a manufacturer provided adequate warnings, and contributory negligence of human drivers? Will there be a reversal straight out of “Twelve Angry Men” if consumer expectations for machines turns out to be higher than for human drivers? You can be a juror in this mock trial of an AV crash.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

• This session will provide a dramatic sneak peek at the potential issues in future AV trials. • The audience will participate as jurors in a realistic, although modified, trial scenario delivered by actual plaintiff’s counsel, defense counsel, and expert witnesses. • The session will demonstrate how technical and other issues (such as accident reconstruction and vehicle design and performance) may be handled in a court of law. • Participants will learn how jurors may consider the myriad of issues surrounding liability in the context of crashes involving AVs (including claims of strict liability, negligence, and failure to warn).

Agenda

1:30 PM – 2:00 PM Florida DOT CAV Business Plan CAV activities have been advancing in Florida for over a decade. At this session, FDOT will present their new CAV Business Plan and report on current and future CAV activities. Other agencies around the state will also present updates on their activities to showcase the diversity of work being done across the state. To bring some order to their deployment efforts, FDOT recently developed a CAV Business Plan and adopted it in January 2019. This Plan identifies seven focus area: Policies and Governance; Program Funding; Education and Outreach; Industry Outreach and Partnerships; Technical Standards and Specifications Development; Implementation Readiness; and Deployment Implementation. This CAV Business Plan evolved from the 2017 TSM&O Strategic Plan and the 2018 Statewide Arterial Management Program (STAMP) Action Plan. These plans formed underlying philosophy for the CAV Business Plan, wherein the Department recognizes that infrastructure providers cannot build their way out of congestion. Congestion reduction and improved safety can also be accomplished by taking a methodical, data-driven approach, a key tenant of TSM&O. With the adoption of the CAV Business Plan, FDOT started institutionalizing the CAV Program with guidance and support from the leadership. The main goal is to deploy emerging technology projects in partnership with the industry, the Federal Highway Administration, local agencies, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and Transportation Planning Organizations (TPOs), and university researchers. • Raj Ponnaluri, Connected Vehicles and Arterial Management Engineer, FDOT

P3 Division Director/State Innovative Delivery Administrator, Georgia Department of Transportation

Session Description

Managed lanes have evolved from their beginnings as traditional HOV lanes to being at the forefront of utilizing new and emerging solutions for improving traffic flow and increasing safety. Because the goal of managed lanes is to maintain free flow speeds at all times, it is important to be sure that all methods to increase capacity and reduce unpredictable traffic occurrences are included in their operations toolbox. By using managed lanes as both test facilities and early implementation facilities for AVs we can evaluate their potential effectiveness in real world applications with minimal potential for conflicting traffic. This session focuses on moving the AV discussion toward practical implementation using managed lanes based on real-world testing and guidance available from the recently released NCHRP 891, Dedicating Lanes for Priority or Exclusive Use by Connected and Automated Vehicles. Moving the dialog toward such implementation is one of the first steps necessary to help public agencies sponsoring such projects adopt policies and plans for application. Many managed lane projects, including dedicated truck lanes, that are in development have been identified as potential candidates for applying AVs. Methods for analyzing applications are now available in NCHRP 891.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

• Identify potential managed lanes projects/facilities to test AVs within • Identify additional research needs to incorporate AVs within high-speed managed lanes • Learn from technology leaders what aspects of infrastructure are needed for early adoption of AVs in managed lanes • Develop a list of advantages and market drivers that will likely usher in the incorporation of AVs in high-speed managed lanes • Build synergy between technology leaders and managed lanes implementers

Organizers

Jiaqi Ma, University of Cincinnati Lili Du, University of Florida Xiaopeng Li, University of South Florida Sevgi Erdogan, University of Maryland Ziqi Song, Utah State University

Session Description

The technologies and models linking individual vehicle control and network operations, despite their critical role in determining whether prototype AV technologies can eventually evolve to massive real-world deployments, seem to be an under-represented topic at the AVS in the past years. The interested attendees of the proposed session will have the opportunities to discuss with experts on network AV operations and modeling/simulation from the academia and industry how to manage AV fleets in a network environment and manage networked mixed traffic to optimally utilize network capacity. Potential session topics include, but not limited to: • Network fleet management and optimization for shared mobility systems • Network traffic management and control with automated vehicles • Innovative network modeling methods that consider unique AV fleet characteristics • New demand modeling (activity and travel behavior) with AV as an alternative mode • Integrated multi-resolution analysis, modeling, and simulation tools for network AV traffic management and evaluation

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

The breakout session will serve as a forum for gathering experts from academia, government, industry to discuss the potential opportunities and challenges for integrating individual vehicle technologies into transportation network modeling. This session will facilitate major AV fleet companies from multiple modes (e.g., transportation network companies, transit and trucks) to work with governments and academia to identify the common issues impeding them from network-wide deployment, such as individual motion control technology maturity, path and route planning challenges, network fleet management, and mixed traffic environment.

The session will enable attendees to understand existing and explore future solutions to network-wide deployment, taking advantage of the great mass and capacities of transportation network modeling communities. The session will help researchers, government agencies, and industry to characterize the needs and challenges in shaping future cities and identify pathways towards materialization of advanced transportation technologies.

Room: Grand 13

Organizers

Elizabeth Machek, Community Planner, Volpe Center, US DOT Daniel Blais, Senior Analyst, Transport Canada Barry Pekilis, ITS Thrust Leader, National Research Council Canada Scott Smith, Operations Research Analyst, Volpe Center, US DOT

Session Description

Rural areas are poorly served by transit, and distances are often too far for convenient walking or bicycling. Loss of access to an automobile can be economically and socially devastating for rural residents. This session will convene discussion around the potential benefits of, and anticipated challenges to, automation in rural areas. The discussion will be intentionally broad, incorporating both personally-owned and shared mobility applications, as well as transportation for older travelers, travelers with disabilities, and the general population.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

Most research on automation and shared mobility has focused on urban areas. The goal of this session is to develop a research agenda for rural automation, to surface the opportunities, obstacles, and how the obstacles might be overcome. A few of the research questions that we anticipate include: • What are the challenges in providing shared fleet services in rural areas? (Is there a viable market? How can they integrate with rural transit?) • What is a minimum set of infrastructure, technology and data needs to enable automated driving systems in rural communities? • What types of advanced driver assistance systems might have an effect on driver licensing requirements? • What are the accessibility issues (door-to-door)?

Organizers

Chris Schwarz, Research Engineer, The University of Iowa Jiaqi Ma, Assistant Professor, University of Cincinnati

Session Description

Simulation is now fundamental to the continued development of automated driving systems. John Krafcik of Waymo claims that 80 percent of improvements are now coming from running self-driving algorithms in a simulator. There are new simulation tools available for training and testing automated vehicles. They are based on open source or freely available software, such as Unity and Unreal game engines. They support simulation of sensor suites, environmental conditions, full control of all static and dynamic actors, maps generation and much more that enable automated vehicle simulations. They have large and growing communities who can contribute to the simulation ecosystem and develop use cases. We invite this community to discuss tools, simulations, and research needs.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs 1. We expect this session to be a useful way for the community to learn about new simulation tools that companies, and universities are already using in their AV programs, and share experiences of developing use cases. Specific goals for the session include the following: 2. Provide information on new AV simulation tools (ex: Unity3D, CARLA, ROS, etc). 3. Learn how people are using the tools – existing use cases developed for AV technology development and testing. Learn how people would like to adapt the tools to their own research (ex: integrate into a human-in-the-loop simulator, hardware-in-the-loop simulation framework, or a conventional microscopic traffic simulation). 4.

(Sivakumar Rathinam, Texas A&M) • Moderated panel and audience discussion of approach and benefits for RMVS

4:15 PM – 5:15 PM Sensor fusion opportunities to address failure modes and edge cases

This panel is devoted to understanding those situations that are most challenging for MV systems (and human drivers) including night, night-wet, snow, and glare conditions, illustrating failure modes in various ODDs. • Ethan Sorrelgreen, Giri Venkat, Robert Seidl (Motus Ventures) • Moderated by Scott Kuznicki

5:15 PM – 5:30 PM Correlating Machine Vision Performance and Operating Design Domain • Moderated by Ken Smith

Related Sessions This session complements some of the issues anticipated in the proposed session “Public Sector Fundamental Barriers to Implantation and Deployment” organized by Ted Bailey from the Washington State Department of Transportation.

The specific goals of this session, machine vision and sensor interactions with existing infrastructure (pavement markings, in particular) are not addressed in other sessions related to automated vehicles and infrastructure needs. Emphasizing the influence of geometric design on lateral guidance and the need for improved pavement marking maintenance in some countries aids infrastructure owner/operators in planning for medium-term and long-term funding needs.

This session supports an ancillary meeting on infrastructure readiness, part of an FHWA project assessing infrastructure needs for autonomous vehicle operations. Impacts of Automated Vehicles on Highway Infrastructure Needs is being organized by Paul Carlson.

Spectrum Needs for Cooperative Automation

Room: Crystal P/Q

Organizers

Jim Misener, Senior Director, Product Management, Qualcom Sam Satoshi Oyama, Senior Researcher, ITS Group, ARI Robert Dingess, President, Mercer Strategic Gianmarco Baldini, Scientific Officer, Joint Research Center, European Commission

Session Description

This session is predicated on the understanding that safe and efficient automated vehicle movements can profoundly benefit from short-range connectivity. It also recognizes that the potential breadth of Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) V2V and V2I applications will demand spectrum. The session will convene experts and breakout participants to consider CAV protocols for advanced cooperative maneuver, sensor sharing or other future concepts. (See for example inter at intersections as demonstrated at CES https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/cv2x-system-ces-2019/).

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

The session is aimed at developing expert inputs to secure global spectrum to enable future CAV applications. Objectives/deliverables are three-fold: • Familiarize participants with CAV concepts. (Organizers will bring in use cases and experts from 3GPP, 5GAA, 5GPPP, IEEE802.11, ITU-R SG5 WP5A and other sources, but the expert attendees are expected to vet them.) • Familiarize participants with available spectrum and potential issues, e.g., interference. • Determine spectrum needs for future CAV based on guided discussion. This can be a significant output, as the collective expertise of this group give credence to spectrum allocation efforts. (e.g., ITU-R SG5 WP5A, WRC23, WRC27) • Proceedings and in particular item 3 will be described in a written report to be made available to spectrum and CAV experts.

Agenda 1:30 PM – 1:45 PM Motivation • Jim Misener, Senior Director, Product Management, Qualcomm

At the End of the Road: Offroad Automation

Note: This session ends at 4:30 PM.

Room: Crystal P/Q

Organizers

Steve Dellenback, Vice President R&D, Southwest Research Institute Matthew Doude, Associate Director, Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems

Session Description

Current automation efforts are focused on a structured environment that is paved and is preferably well marked. There is a segment of the national road infrastructure that gets little focus: unpaved roadways that exist in many rural areas as well as off-road applications. To achieve deep penetration of AVs outside the urban areas they will need to be able to handle unpaved roads. Many of the currently utilized sensors and mapping techniques will struggle in these environments as the driving area changes significantly with the seasons and the visual

cues radically vary. Research results/topics to successfully deploy off road AVs will be discussed.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

• State-of-the-art of non-paved road automated driving • Limitations of current techniques • What is needed to successfully implement automation on non-paved roads Moderator: Steve Dellenback, Vice President R&D, Southwest Research Institute Current speaker list: • Mr. Chris Mentzer, Assistant Director R&D, Southwest Research Institute • Dr. Matthew Doude, Associate Director, Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems • Mr. Jeff Durst, Branch Chief - Mobility Systems Branch, ERDC-GSL • Dr. Alex Thomasson, Texas A&M University • Dr. Fernando Figueroa, NASA Stennis Space Center • U.S. Army CCDC (formally TARDEC)

Automated Vehicles Ecosystem End-to-End Cybersecurity

Room: Grand 14

Organizer

Dr. Jonathan Petit, Senior Director of Research, OnBoard Security, Inc.

Session Description

The Automated Vehicles Ecosystem is composed of three components: the vehicle itself, an infrastructure, and users. The vehicle is composed of sensors, processing units, and uses machine learning algorithms and communication technologies. The infrastructure is made of network infrastructure (roadside unit, cellular base station), lane marking, traffic signs, traffic management center, and cloud services (to name a few entities). The users can be vehicle passengers, operators, remote operators, or vulnerable road users. Therefore, it is paramount to design an end-to-end security solution to ensure resilience of the whole system. Unfortunately, until now, we have seen some solutions (if any), but they are all designed in silos. In this session, experts of each subsystem will give you the state-of-the-art in security and privacy. We will discuss AV sensors security, machine learning security, human factors, road / fleet operator security. As policies / regulations play a major role in development and adoption of cybersecurity measures, we will also give an overview of the current legal framework. We will conclude the session with a panel discussion in order to put all solutions together and identify synergies.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

Cybersecurity is commonly accepted as one of the three key enablers for AV. As the top conference in AV, AVS must have one breakout session on cybersecurity. This session will give a unique overview of the challenges faced by the whole ecosystem. By raising awareness of each subsystem issues, this session will help the cybersecurity community to work together but

will also influx cross-disciplinary research. With this session, we expect to identify common research needs between subsystems and help designing an end-to-end security solution.

Agenda

1:30 PM – 2:00 PM Semantic Adversarial Analysis and Learning with VerifAI Adversarial analysis of deep neural networks has shown us that it is easy to find small perturbations of inputs that produce undesired outputs. However, not all adversarial inputs are meaningful. In this talk, we describe how formal methods can be used to define the "semantic space" of inputs for a deep neural network used for perceptual tasks, to analyze the network for desired semantic properties, and to re-train the network to achieve improved performance. We present VerifAI, an open-source toolkit based on this approach, showing how it can be used design and analyze autonomous vehicles that use deep neural networks and other machine learning models. • Shromona Ghosh, University of California, Berkeley

2:00 PM – 2:30 PM Security Considerations for ITS With a shift toward leveraging emerging technologies to improve the safety and efficiency of the broader transportation system, attention must be given to potential security implications of deploying those technologies on a large scale. This talk will cover a sampling of security- related topics relevant to intelligent transportation systems (ITS), including connected and automated vehicles, as well as traffic management systems. Especially, I will detail our recent work on Over-The-Air update security and GPS security. • Eric Thorn, Manager R&D, Cooperative Systems Section, Southwest Research Institute

2:30 PM – 3:00 PM Break

3:00 PM – 3:30 PM Safe and Secure Sensor Considerations in an Ever-Evolving AV Threatscape Sensor security offers new and unique considerations regarding investigating how sensor data may be manipulated adversarially or unintentionally to invoke undesired or unauthorized path planning and following behavior for one or many connected intelligent vehicles. In order to design more robust vehicle control systems in the future we must model these new consideration as part of a larger security framework and ecosystem. In this talk we explore the current vehicle security ecosystem and look to expand that ecosystem to include how scenery manipulation and other emerging vectors should be thought about, modelled and possibly mitigated as we continue to evolve. • John Moore, Ford Motor Company, Advance Electrical, Software, Compute, and AI Vehicle Research Team

3:30 PM – 4:00 PM Using drivers to respond to vehicle cyberattacks Increasing autonomy in vehicles is associated with many improvements in terms of functionality and convenience, but it also associated with potential cyberattacks as the attack surface of vehicles grows increasingly large. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to prevent or mitigate vehicle cyberattacks. However, drivers are those who interact directly with the vehicle and have the ability to respond to unexpected situations caused by cyberattacks. I will describe results of an experimental study that examined how people responded to vehicle cyberattacks and I will present a prototype training and in-vehicle message systems that is designed to improve drivers’ awareness of and responses to vehicle cyberattacks. Using a ‘human in the loop’ approach introduces an innovative solution that addresses the human factor of vehicle cyberattacks.

• Shannon Roberts, Assistant Professor, University of Massachusetts Amherst

4:00 PM – 4:30 PM The Unhackable AV That Totally Respects Privacy Many ask "How can we create an unhackable AV that fully complies with all privacy requirements?" The answer is: we can’t. Our cybersecurity and privacy strategies must deal with the reality that there will be hacks and privacy breaches. But with the rapidly growing thicket of regulations and standards in the industry, it is not clear what policies and practices to develop to guard against and respond to those threats. This talk will present an overview of the current regulatory and legal frameworks for cybersecurity and privacy, describe emerging legal trends, and give practical tips for how to prepare for legal requirements and risks to AVs. • Melody Drummond Hansen, Intellectual Property and Technology Partner, O’Melveny

4:30 PM – 5:30 PM Panel: End-to-End Security? To seriously pretend to secure the automated vehicle ecosystem, we need to verify that all the solutions devised are interoperable. In this panel, speakers will analyze how the solutions fit together and potentially identify gaps that need to be addressed. Moderator: • Jonathan Petit, Senior Director of Research, OnBoard Security Panelists: • Melody Drummond Hansen, O’Melveny • John Moore, Ford • Shannon Roberts, Assistant Professor, University of Massachusetts Amherst • Eric Thorn, Southwest Research Institute

J.D. Schneeberger, Noblis Chris Ballinger, the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative (MOBI) Kevin Dopart, USDOT ITS JPO Rajat Rajbhandari, dexFreight Dale Thompson, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Karl Wunderlich, Noblis

Session Description

Blockchain is founded on an incorruptible, shared, digital ledger of transactions that can record not just financial exchanges but virtually any kind of collective transaction. The secure nature of transactions and the permanent authenticity of the data offers potential for blockchain to augment vehicle automation. This session explores potential use cases where vehicles exchange data and payments with other vehicles and infrastructure; operate in a tokenized environment by registering assets on a public or permissioned ledger; and create an ecosystem of “earned trust” improving traffic flow. This session includes presentation from leading researchers and creates a forum to discuss how this emerging technology can augment vehicle automation.

Goals/Objectives/Outputs

Introduce the transportation community to blockchain technology—Blockchain 101. Learn about leading research on potential uses of blockchain in coordinating vehicle movement and improving transportation in urban environments. Explore how blockchain technology can create an ecosystem for automated vehicles to trust each other and improve the flow of cars on the road. Identify potential research needs statements.

Agenda

1:30 PM – 1:40 PM – Session Overview and Speaker Introductions The session will begin with a brief overview of the “Blockchain: Enabling a ‘Trusted’ Automated Vehicle Future” session as well as the review of the session objectives and expected outcomes. • Dale Thompson, Team Leader Transportation Enabling Technologies, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)

1:40 PM – 2:00 PM – Blockchain 101 – An Overview of Blockchain Technology You may have heard the term “blockchain” in reference to cryptocurrencies, but did you know this emerging technology can be applied to other areas as well including transportation. Essentially, blockchain is a method of digital record-keeping that is extremely secure because it is not stored centrally, and each entry cannot be retroactively modified. The secure nature of transactions and the authenticity of the data offers the opportunity to revolutionize the world. This session will introduce attendees the fundamental elements of this emerging technology.

• Rajat Rajbhandari, Co-founder BlockSec and CEO and Co-founder dexFreight

2:00 PM – 2:20 PM – Potential Use Cases for Blockchain and Automated Vehicles Blockchain/distributed ledger technology in an automated vehicle ecosystem is poised to play a critical role in transforming mobility, ensuring cybersecurity, facilitating pay for use transactions, securing automated vehicle credentials, among other areas. This presentation highlights the results of the Mobility Blockchain Initiative (MOBI) Grand Challenge—a tournament to showcase potential uses of Blockchain in coordinating vehicle movement and improving transportation in urban environments. The initial phase ended with a public demonstration of selected technologies at an event hosted by the BMW Group, MOBI community member, in Munich, Germany on February 15, 2019. • Chris Ballinger, Executive Director and Founder, MOBI, the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative

2:20 PM – 2:40 PM – Leveraging the Blockchain for Orchestrated Autonomy This presentation is a deeper dive into a specific automated vehicle ecosystem use case. This presentation will explore how blockchain technology can create an ecosystem for automated vehicles to trust each other and calculate — in a decentralized way — the flow of cars on the road. Blockchain-driven automated vehicles will remove the uncertainty and strengthen trust that vehicles must have with each other. This ‘earned trust’ will result in a collaborative effort where all vehicles on the road maintain road safety and efficiency simultaneously. • Karl Wunderlich, Director Surface Transportation Systems Division, Noblis
