Behavioral Safety Assessment towards Large-scale Deployment of Autonomous Vehicles, Part I: Methodology
To overcome this limitation, we propose a paradigm shift toward behavioral safety, a comprehensive approach focused on evaluating AV responses and interactions within the traffic environment.

Key points
- Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have significantly advanced in real-world deployment in recent years, yet safety continues to be a critical barrier to widespread adoption.
- Traditional functional safety approaches, which primarily verify the reliability, robustness, and adequacy of AV hardware and software systems from a vehicle-centric perspective, do not sufficiently address the AV's broader interactions and behavioral impact on the surrounding traffic environment.
- To systematically assess behavioral safety, we introduce a third-party AV safety assessment framework comprising two complementary evaluation components: the Behavioral Competency Test and the Driving Intelligence Test.
- In Part II of this study, an open-source Level 4 Automated Driving System (ADS) is tested to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
