Keynote Speaker-The Advantages of Using Scenarios as Part of the Specification in Automated Driving

For the development and deployment of Driving Automation Systems, manufacturers use scenarios to decompose the complex world into smaller pieces. Traditionally, scenarios focus on verification and validation processes. This talk introduces the Scenario as Specification approach, which connects requirements to scenario-based descriptions of target behavior. By combining target behavior with environmental context, scenarios become a foundation for safety engineering and verification and validation. Practical examples illustrate the key concepts and the motivation behind this approach.
