Guest: Phil Koopman, associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University We asked Phil: How do you prove safety for computer-based vehicles that depend on software?

You get there with safety engineering, doing the hazard analysis, making sure you mitigate hazards. [In short] testing doesn’t prove you safe. The testing proves that all the work [you’ve done] for safety didn’t let anything slip through.
