As the automotive industry transitions toward centralized compute platforms for ADAS and autonomous driving, ensuring functional safety at ASIL-D level becomes a complex systems engineering challenge. This session explores how fail-operational architectures can be effectively designed and validated in line with ISO 26262 and upcoming safety standards. Drawing from decades of experience in safety assurance, Udo Steininger will offer a cross-domain perspective—from safety concepts to certification—on what it takes to achieve robust, certifiable safety in next-generation compute systems.
In this session, we discuss:
- How do safety goals evolve when consolidating ADAS functions onto centralized compute units?
- What architectural design patterns support fail-operational behavior and ASIL-D compliance in highly integrated systems?
- How can verification and validation be adapted to reflect real-world risk scenarios in autonomous operation?
- What lessons can be drawn from cross-industry safety standards (e.g., rail, nuclear) when applied to automotive compute platforms?
