   Developing Safety Models for self-driving features, testing hypothesis of potential on road scenario trajectory response, building similarity search on extremely high dimensional on-road data between arbitrary length of driving snippets.• Motion Planning critical event prediction modeling: Developed a high-confidence classifier for early detection of critical on-road events in motion planning, leveraging MP features and external signals, despite the limited availability of real-world critical events and simulations• Residual risk modeling for statistical estimation of unforeseen events: Developed a residual risk model for statistical estimation of unforeseen events, focusing on safety and assessingthe long-term risk exposure of a specific build.• Stop-in-Lane/Pull-to-Shoulder decision model building, focusing on tradeoff of potential sur-vival until next viable shoulder vs accident-free emergency stopping.
