Assessment and response mechanism for autonomous systems

A method of providing an assessment and response system for an autonomous system, the method comprising:

• accessing a realm classification of an event;
• determining a hazard score based on the realm classification, a severity metric, a likelihood metric, an urgency metric, and a confidence level metric;
• identifying, based on the hazard score, a responsive action;
• and
• recording details of the hazard score determination and the responsive action in a decision ledger.

At least one machine-readable medium including instructions for providing an assessment and response system for an autonomous system, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

• access a realm classification of an event;
• determine a hazard score based on the realm classification, a severity metric, a likelihood metric, an urgency metric, and a confidence level metric,
• identify, based on the hazard score, a responsive action;
• and
• record details of the hazard score determination and the responsive action in a decision ledger.
