The Pop in Your Job
For me, automated driving on SAE level 3 is a key threshold towards robotics interacting with an open world. From a background in robotics, AI, and automotive sensor data fusion, paving the way for L3 automated driving as an end users' product became my mission just naturally. For me, this is "the automotive Apollo project", a notion that shall summarize both the attraction and the difficulty involved in this journey, together with the fact that the challenge is primarily a technical one. SOTIF (Safety of the Intended Functionality) has become the community's key label for the related effort, and therefore my "office door label". It does provide a good frame, yet nevertheless, the task has occasionally been underestimated in industry.
