Functional Safety Considerations for Autonomous Driving and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

A closer look at the applicable functional safety standards as well as the complexity and components of functional safety for AD/ADAS vehicles

As most new passenger road vehicles are now manufactured with some form of assisted driving module, the future of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) is looking extremely positive. However, as a failure can be catastrophic for humans that are in or around such vehicles, safety is paramount. This white paper explores the current market situation for AD/ADAS, including the types of vehicles integrating these innovative technologies and end-user perceptions. We will also discuss the relevant functional safety standards, and explore the issues and considerations surrounding functional safety for AD/ADAS vehicles.
