Operating outside the validated domain
A vehicle drifts beyond its operational design domain (into weather, roads, or hours it was never validated for) and keeps driving autonomously where it should have handed back or safely stopped.
Governance for autonomous-vehicle and robotic fleets operating under mission constraints.
Autonomous vehicle and robotic fleets make driving and operating decisions every second, and each one is validated only for a defined operational design domain (ODD, the specific conditions of geography, weather, and time of day that a system was tested to handle). The platform governs the driving model's outputs (lane keeping, object detection, path planning) but not the fleet's behavior: operating outside the ODD, perception degrading, an emergency response failing, or one fault cascading across many vehicles. The civilian record shows the stakes: a robotaxi that dragged a pedestrian and drew a $1.5M federal civil penalty, a test vehicle that struck and killed a pedestrian after its perception system cycled through classifications with emergency braking disabled, and a fleet of more than 100 robotaxis that froze at once and blocked intersections. Without governance there is no enforced boundary on where a vehicle may operate and no trustworthy record of what the fleet did.

Sensor accuracy declines below the safety threshold. The degradation is gradual, so a certified perception stack becomes a liability before the next object goes unclassified.
A connectivity loss, a bad over-the-air update, or corrupt map data hits many vehicles at once, immobilizing a whole fleet and blocking traffic instead of failing one vehicle at a time.
A vehicle needs a remote operator and cannot establish the connection in time, yet keeps operating autonomously instead of executing a safe stop.
Telemetry reporting visibility, wind speed, precipitation, or road-surface condition is judged against the certified operational design domain envelope registered for that platform. Nothing in the envelope comes from the vehicle's own request: an envelope sent with the telemetry is dropped and recorded, and a platform whose envelope has not been registered is denied rather than defaulted. A vehicle outside its certified conditions loses authorization instead of driving on it.
Fleet-wide monitoring correlates error telemetry to catch a cascade forming, and repeated emergency shutdowns inside the registered cascade window are blocked before the next one lands. One switch halts every governed vehicle in a fraction of a second, a single named vehicle can be halted and quarantined on its own, and the halt survives a restart.
An action reporting teleoperation telemetry is authorized only while connection latency, remote-operator availability, and teleoperation system health sit inside the bounds registered for that platform. Both the latency ceiling and the operator-ratio floor used to arrive on the request; both are now server-registered, and one sent by the vehicle is dropped and recorded. A platform with nothing registered is denied rather than assumed reachable.
A tamper-evident, hash-linked record captures every operation and incident (what happened, under whose authorization, and why) and supports the crash-reporting deadlines fleet regulators impose.
Agentomy carries a dedicated AV pattern family for Autonomous Fleet Governance. Each one is a specific failure this layer watches for, with the signal it watches, checked at runtime before the action reaches your systems.

AV family, AV-001 to AV-010 · 10 of 166 governance patterns Agentomy enforces at runtime. Severity as classified in the pattern definition.
Agentomy does not certify you. It gives you the enforcement and the audit trail these frameworks ask for, so readiness is something you can show rather than assert.
A tamper-evident, hash-linked trail of every governance decision for this workload: what an agent did, under whose authorization, and why. Plain-English reasons for every allow and deny, exportable to the framework your auditors care about.
