The Role

The Autonomous Vehicle Safety Driver (CDL) reports to the Head of Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Site Operations and helps test, operate, maintain, and evaluate Outrider’s self-driving vehicle system.

The AV Operator is primarily responsible for the safe operation of AVs -- which may operate in manual, partial-automation or full-automation modes -- and therefore is the authority on identifying and correcting potential safety risks during operation.

The AV Operator's responsibilities include monitoring the AV and driving environment; determining whether and how to return the AV to a minimum-risk condition; and intervening in automated driving tasks to resume manual or computer control for safety and performance assessment purposes.
