main decisions are made by humans. In the world of autonomous vehicles, there will
be a driving need for decisions to be made by the system rather than by humans due
to the benefits of more automation such as reducing the likelihood of human error,
handling more air traffic in national airspace safely, providing prior warnings of
potential conflicts etc. The system will have to decide on courses of action that will
have highly safety critical consequences. One way to ensure these decisions are
robust is to guarantee that the information being used for the decision is valid and of
very high integrity. [Continues.]
