Research abstract

ECR is a market leader in the autonomous system assurance, verification, and certification space. We developed the UL 4600 standard which is cited as the US DOT and NHTSA Key framework for autonomous vehicle (AV) safety. Our SaaS platform nLoop builds safety cases, manages risk, makes deployment decisions and communicates overall safety. ECR and nLoop are able to address both commercial and federal customers and maintain a robust portfolio of customers in both markets. ECR maintains a close relationship with world class researchers from MIT and Carnegie Mellon University. ECR continues close and continued relationships with our Federal Partners at the Undersecretary of Defense R&E, NASA, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Army. Our commercial customers and development partners include world-class firms such as Aurora, BMW, Bosch, and Volkswagen to name a few. We continually adapt and enhance nLoop based on feedback received and constantly evolving commercial and academic developments.
