The transportation world is rapidly moving toward electric, autonomous and high-voltage systems, and these increasingly complex frameworks require careful regulation to keep the public safe.
Many safety and quality standards (such as ISO 26262, SOTIF, IATF 16949, and ASPICE) have been developed to provide benchmarks for building safer autonomous vehicles, and many are still in development.
To assure that trust, autonomous vehicle developers must understand and implement these functional safety standards to their fullest intent, in addition to addressing emerging standards, such as ISO/PAS 21448.
