Reflect

Prepare a presentation with a brief introduction of safety and security standards and on the key points of each paper, and also think about the "big picture":

• What are the scope and limitations of safety and security standards?
• What is the underlying design philosophy of autonomous features?
• What are some of the challenges with increasingly complex features requiring increasingly complex (possibly AI-driven) hardware and software?
