Session

Rethinking Controllability – Synergizing Functional Safety in Automated Vehicles

ADAS and Functional Safety Track | Case Study

Monday, December 08

03:30 pm - 04:00 pm

Live in Dearborn, Michigan

Less Details

As automated driving systems become more prevalent, automotive manufacturers and suppliers face growing challenges in ensuring compliance with functional safety standards. A key issue arises when integrating hardware and software components that do not contribute to driving automation—yet are still subjected to stringent Automotive Safety Integrity Level requirements. Current safety frameworks rely on human intervention as a parameter for risk classification, but what happens when human intervention is no longer part of the equation?

This session explores the real-world impact of existing functional safety standards on system design, risk assessment, and compliance for non-automation components. Through practical examples and industry insights, we will discuss:

  • Why current HARA methods misclassify risk for components not involved in driving automation
  • How the lack of human intervention forces excessive safety requirements
  • A potential update to the definition of controllability while preserving the underlying principles of the original definition
