SAE J3206

Description
J3206 is an SAE Information Report. This document is nonnormative and imposes no requirements. This SAE Information Report classifies and defines a harmonized set of safety principles intended to be considered by ADS and ADS-equipped vehicle development stakeholders. For automated driving systems (ADS) and ADS-equipped vehicles, there are many interpretations of what constitutes a safety principle. Some principles focus on design and development, some on behavior, and others on maintenance and support of ADS-equipped vehicles. This document is intended to define and develop a set of safety principles for industry use.

These aspects are discussed in detail by the ASAM Test Specification Study Group using the input of some documents referenced in J3206 and others. Therefore, the study group decided not to investigate this standard that has no normative character in a deeper way.
