Rigorous Safety Design of ADAS and ADS – Implications on Tools

Addressing the challenges of defining, designing, and measuring safety in autonomous vehicles.

As autonomous driving technologies become more widespread, ensuring their safety remains one of the industry’s most pressing concerns. This recorded webinar explores the complexities and open questions surrounding the safety of automated vehicles, including the lack of consensus on definitions, metrics, and design strategies.

Key highlights include:

• Critical questions and perspectives on automated vehicle safety
• The role of rigor in development, from design to commercialization
• Why current development processes fall short in safety assurance
• The need for robust Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools
• A demonstration of the EwQIMS Functional Safety Module, showcasing features aligned with ISO 26262 for a more rigorous development approach

This session is valuable for engineers, safety managers, and decision-makers involved in the design and deployment of automated vehicle systems who are seeking structured, standards-driven solutions to modern safety challenges.
