What are your greatest needs related to Standards? That question is one I typically ask during my conversations and formal interviews with mobility-industry engineers. As might be expected, those involved with AV development tend to offer a robust list of standards they'd like SAE International to pursue.

Bryan Salesky, CEO of self-driving vehicle systems supplier Argo AI, recently told me and my SAE Media colleague Bill Visnic that his development teams want “more terminology and definitions,” an area in which SAE's Standards Committees are already focused. The committees' scope goes beyond vehicle nomenclatures, to include the various interrelated ecosystems.
