When Stopping Fails: Rethinking Minimal Risk Conditions through Human-Interactive Autonomous Driving for Safe Transportation Systems

arXiv:2606.29115v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are increasingly deployed in urban environments, yet their safety frameworks remain primarily designed around collision avoidance and minimal risk condition (MRC) behaviors such as slowing or stopping when uncertainty arises. Although effective in reducing immediate crash risk, real-world deployments indicate that stopping alone does not guarantee safe integration into human-governed roadway systems. Incidents reported by ...
