Abstract
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will be hosting a virtual workshop on the development of Standards and Performance Metrics for On-Road Autonomous Vehicles on March 8-9, 2022. During this two-day event, attendees will have an opportunity to actively provide feedback in facilitated discussions regarding technical focus areas for NIST to develop standards, measurement science, and performance metrics for on-road autonomous vehicle technology. NIST will release a discussion draft that addresses the following technology areas: Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Communication, Perception, Infrastructure, and Safety, prior to the workshop. NIST will use stakeholder feedback from the workshop to revise the discussion draft.

ACTION: Notice; Public Workshop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will
be hosting a virtual workshop on the development of Standards and
Performance Metrics for On-Road Autonomous Vehicles on March 8-9, 2022.
During this two-day event, attendees will have an opportunity to
actively provide feedback in facilitated discussions regarding
technical focus areas for NIST to develop standards, measurement
science, and performance metrics for on-road autonomous vehicle
technology. NIST will release a discussion draft that addresses the
following technology areas: Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity,
Communication, Perception, Infrastructure, and Safety, prior to the
workshop. NIST will use stakeholder feedback from the workshop to
revise the discussion draft.
DATES: The workshop will begin on March 8, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern
Time, and will adjourn on March 9, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Registration will be open until midnight on March 7, 2022, or until
registration reaches capacity.
ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held virtually via webinar. For
instructions on how to participate in the workshop, please see the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Registration
The workshop schedule and registration information are posted
online at: <a href="https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2022/03/standards-and-performance-metrics-road-autonomous-vehicles">https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2022/03/standards-and-performance-metrics-road-autonomous-vehicles</a>.
Engagement
Other opportunities to engage in the development of standards and
performance metrics in autonomous vehicles will be posted on the NIST
Autonomous Vehicles web page as they become available (<a href="https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/nist-and-autonomous-vehicles">https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/nist-and-autonomous-vehicles</a>), and will
be announced through the NIST Autonomous Vehicles mailing list (<a href="https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/g/autonomousvehicles">https://groups.google.com/a/list.nist.gov/g/autonomousvehicles</a>).
Objectives
On-road autonomous vehicles are projected to influence key aspects
of everyday life including transportation, goods delivery,
manufacturing, public safety, and security. However, autonomous
vehicles can pose a risk in the event of unexpected system performance.
Goals of this workshop include the following:
<bullet> Solicit stakeholder feedback to identify key areas where
NIST can develop standards and performance metrics to help advance the
autonomous vehicle field.
<bullet> Foster a multidisciplinary community consisting of
stakeholders from a variety of disciplines and domains in autonomous
vehicles.
During the workshop, attendees will have an opportunity to actively
provide feedback in facilitated discussions regarding technical focus
areas for NIST to develop standards, measurement science, and
performance metrics for on-road autonomous vehicle technology. NIST
will release a discussion draft that addresses the following technology
areas: Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Communication,
Perception, Infrastructure, and Safety, prior to the workshop. NIST
will then use stakeholder feedback from the panel and breakout sessions
at the workshop to revise the discussion draft.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 272(b) & (c).
