To mitigate the high energy demand of Neural Network (NN) based Autonomous Driving Systems (ADSs), we consider the problem of offloading NN controllers from the ADS to nearby edge-computing infrastructure, but in such a way that formal vehicle safety properties are guaranteed. In particular, we propose the EnergyShield framework, which repurposes a controller "shield" as a low-power runtime safety monitor for the ADS vehicle.

While graph-based ML models nicely integrate the nodal data with the connectivity, they also inherit potential unfairness. Using such ML models may therefore result in inevitable unfair results in various decision- and policy-making in the related applications. While fairness and explainability have attracted increasing attention in responsible ML, they are mostly under-explored in the graph domain.
