SOTIF for Autonomous Driving

Why SOTIF (ISO/PAS 21448) Matters ?
As automotive technology advances, ensuring the Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) has become a cornerstone for manufacturers developing systems for ADAS and AV. At CS Canada & US, we specialize in providing tailored consulting services to help you navigate the complexities of ISO/PAS 21448 compliance and ensure your systems meet the highest safety standards.
While traditional functional safety addresses failures due to hardware or software faults, SOTIF focuses on addressing:
Performance Limitations: Ensuring systems perform as intended even in unpredictable scenarios.
Misuse Scenarios: Mitigating risks arising from foreseeable misuse of systems.
Emerging Technologies: Addressing risks associated with sensors, AI, and machine learning.
ISO/PAS 21448 provides a structured approach to identifying and mitigating such risks, ensuring a robust safety framework for advanced vehicle functionalities.
