Safety-related engineering, as prescribed by ISO 26262, demands significantly more effort compared to non-safety-related projects of similar complexity. This can potentially double your project’s development efforts if not managed effectively. However, with the right approach and tools, you can streamline compliance while maintaining efficiency.

What is ISO 26262?

ISO 26262 is an international functional safety standard for automotive electronic and electrical systems. Introduced in 2011 and revised in 2018, it provides guidelines to minimize risks caused by system failures, ensuring automotive safety integrity levels (ASILs) are met. Compliance is critical for achieving safe, reliable, and certifiable vehicle systems—from ADAS to fully autonomous vehicles.

What You’ll Learn:

In this round-table discussion with industry leaders, we will address how to efficiently manage ISO 26262 projects and achieve a robust yet efficient development lifecycle.
