InferTrust Auto: Cryptographic Proof for Every Autonomous Vehicle Decision
After an AV incident, NHTSA wants to know exactly what the system decided and why. InferTrust Auto seals that answer at the edge, before the vehicle even phones home. SAE J3016 compliant.
What InferTrust Auto Does
InferTrust Auto creates cryptographically signed decision records for every autonomous driving decision, including lane changes, speed adjustments, obstacle avoidance, intersection navigation, V2X safety communications, and safety envelope enforcement. Records are signed on the vehicle edge compute unit using device-bound keys before any data reaches fleet management or cloud systems.
Key Pain Points Addressed
- Post-incident NHTSA investigations requiring verifiable proof of AV behavior at every decision point
- SAE J3016 autonomy level compliance requiring documented transitions between automation levels
- Fleet-wide safety reporting across vehicles, routes, and conditions
- Liability and insurance disputes requiring tamper-evident forensic reconstruction
Decision Actions Captured
- AUTONOMOUS_PROCEED: All conditions within safety envelope, vehicle proceeds under active driving policy
- SAFE_DEGRADE: Controlled reduction in autonomous capability due to sensor degradation or uncertainty
- HUMAN_HANDOFF: Transfer of control to human operator with alerting and confirmation logging
- EMERGENCY_HALT: Immediate safe-stop maneuver with full sensor state and decision context sealed
Regulatory Frameworks Supported
- NHTSA Safety Assessment and Voluntary Safety Self-Assessments
- SAE J3016 Levels of Driving Automation
- ISO 26262 Functional Safety for Road Vehicles
- ISO/SAE 21434 Cybersecurity Engineering
