Accepts that all employees are experts.Like all our Open Reporting Programs, the strength of Motional’s Red Button process is dependent on employee involvement. Motional's Red Button process is an essential part of our overall focus on safety to identify and address any concerns. Once a fix is implemented, the Red Button ticket is closed, but corrective and preventative action occurs to capture long-term and organizational-level fixes. After the root-cause analysis is complete, a fix is identified and progress is tracked. Next, a root-cause analysis is initiated to investigate and determine the cause of safety-related issues. The Triage Team then makes a recommendation to the region’s executive, who makes the decision on the action taken. When a Red Button is activated, a Triage Team immediately analyzes the situation and meets to decide on a recommended corrective action.
A Red Button activation doesn’t automatically bring operations to a halt, but alerts a local team of employees that are prepared to address safety concerns. If a member of the Motional team has concerns about safety, they can initiate the Red Button process or report it to their manager, who will. While a Red Button press can relate to unwanted autonomous driving behavior, it may also be used to call attention to unsafe development practices, dangerous operation of power tools, and any other hazard. The ticketing system is open to all employees and is used to address all types of safety-related concerns.
The Motional Red Button is both a physical control in a vehicle to address urgent, dynamic concerns and an internal electronic ticketing process to address latent, theoretical concerns. Like most autonomous vehicle developers, Motional employs a “red button,” which takes the form of a switch or other control, in its driverless vehicles as an emergency shutoff to cease operation for various reasons, such as a safety issue.īut the red-button concept extends beyond our vehicles, and if at any time an employee has a safety-related concern, it's not only their right but their responsibility to immediately “press” the Motional Red Button. How safety is ingrained into our day-to-day work cultureĪ red button is a common movie and TV trope, typically used by the hero or villain to either start or stop something from occurring, such as a rocket launch or cinematic self-destruct mechanism.
