Autonomous vehicles

Hi all friends,

I wanted to know if all garages that provide repair service are licensed to repair autonomous vehicles?

If not, please provide reasons.

I ask the community because if the garage has been authorized by the Ministry of Transport to repair cars I do not see it as a matter of training licensees for professional knowledge (of course up to a certain threshold), because the world of autonomy requires a good few years to know how the sensors work and I believe a person Normative In order to obtain permission for this, an employee with the rank of mechanical engineer from the automation section will be employed.

I would love to get factual and genuine answers that reflect actual reality

  • Unless the auto repair industry sets up a licencing system for repair technicians like the aircraft industry along with all the relevant documentation nothing will change. There is nothing to stop you or I working on safety related parts of a vehicle such as the braking and steering systems. Why isn’t there a requirement for licenced auto repair technicians? I suggest that both the risk and severity of any likely incidents are low. The majority of road vehicle accidents are caused by the driver, not vehicle failures.

    Trying just put special requirements  for the sensor systems will not gain anything. If the control system is correctly designed (I doubt if they will be) conflicting sensor information should cause the automatic system to request a return to manual control or to not change to automatic control. The Boing 737 Max problem is a good example of a badly thought out safety related control system.
