Automotive Electronics refers to the electronic systems and components used in vehicles to enhance performance, safety, and comfort. These systems include engine control units, infotainment systems, driver assistance technologies, and more. As vehicles become increasingly connected and autonomous, the role of automotive electronics has expanded significantly.
Functional Safety & Security focuses on ensuring that these electronic systems operate reliably and securely, especially in critical functions such as braking, steering, and airbag deployment. It involves rigorous design, testing, and validation processes to prevent failures that could lead to harm.
ISO 26262/ASIL Blocks outlines the safety standards for automotive systems, defining different Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASILs) based on the potential risk of system failure. ASIL blocks help categorize and manage the complexity of safety-critical functions, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
Security / Functional Safety integrates both cybersecurity and functional safety measures to protect against malicious attacks while maintaining system reliability. This is essential for modern vehicles equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and connected features.
Together, these elements form the backbone of safe, secure, and reliable automotive electronic systems, supporting the development of next-generation vehicles. They are widely applied in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and autonomous driving platforms, ensuring a safer and more intelligent driving experience.
