Abstract

In this chapter, some research challenges in the verification of autonomous systems are outlined. The objective was to identify existing available verification tools and their associated gaps, additional challenges for which there are no tools, and to make suggestions for directions in which progress may profitably be made. The chapter briefly touches on existing research to begin addressing these problems but there are more unexplored research challenges than there are programs underway to explore them. This chapter concludes with an enumeration of the unexplored challenges.
