What Is a Safety Case?
A safety case is a structured argument, supported by evidence, that an autonomous system is acceptably safe for its intended use. It is an industry concept, not a statutory term. No Texas statute defines it, and this page does not present it as one.
A safety case typically states the safety claims for the system, the argument linking evidence to each claim, and the testing and validation evidence itself. It is the framework the site's safety guide uses for testing and validation of autonomous systems. A safety case is a showing a developer makes about its system; it is not a government approval and does not by itself satisfy a regulatory duty.
