The protocol is likely uninteresting rather it's the models, training data, and training configurations which are most interesting and the least likely to be open sourced. I don't work in the autonomous vehicle space but I would be surprised there's a set of deterministic rules that are easily reviewed instead collections of deep nn models.

Wouldn't you test the output rather than the input? Before an autonomous vehicle / update is allowed to go on public roads, it must pass a "driving test" that includes a bunch of known edge cases.

Sure. And maybe that's what will happen. But now you have pre-defined tricky situations. Everyone builds those very specific situations into their systems but may not really generalize them.

The data is the real rub. There's some open source code in the space and we'll see what else gets opened up over time. But AFAIK, no one is talking about making their data sets public (and, to the degree that data is coming from regular drivers, there would probably be privacy concerns with doing so). And, as you say, with NN techniques, a lot of actions aren't deterministic or understandable.
