Critical Analysis of ASPICE® 4.0 Machine Learning Engineering Process Requirements

The introduction of machine learning development paradigm into the automotive software industry has made necessary to update the applicable qual- ity evaluation standards such as Automotive SPICE®. As a result the Automotive SPICE® community timely tackled this challenge with the introduction of the ver- sion 4.0 containing a first baseline of process requirements for machine learning engineering. The paper provides a succinct critical analysis of related ASPICE® new content with particular reference to the current state of the art of machine learn- ing development practices. The outcome of this paper aims at being an input for the forthcoming improvement initiatives within the Automotive SPICE working groups.
