Risk subdomain coverage

Good coverage — Comprehensive governance measures or mitigations with clear procedures relating to the risk subdomain are explicitly described.

• Compromise of privacy
• Lack of capability or robustness

Minimal coverage — Brief mention but no specific mitigations, recommendations or governance measures relating to the risk subdomain are described.

• AI system security vulnerabilities
• Overreliance and unsafe use
• Loss of human agency and autonomy

All other risk subdomains had no coverage in this document.

Risk Coverage Summary

The document primarily addresses safety and operational risks related to autonomous vehicles transporting minors, with focused coverage on system safety failures (7.3), human-computer interaction risks (5.1, 5.2), and privacy/security concerns (2.1). Coverage is concentrated in technical safety requirements and child protection measures rather than broader AI governance risks.

Sector coverage

Good coverage — Comprehensive governance measures or mitigations with clear procedures relating to the sector are explicitly described.

• Trade, Transportation & Utilities

Minimal coverage — Brief mention but no specific mitigations, recommendations or governance measures relating to the sector are described.

• Information

All other sectors had no coverage in this document.

Sectors Summary
