Meeting The Challenges of Autonomous Driving
We are helping to meet these challenges by:
- Using assessment methods that are at the cutting edge of development and are continuously refined to ensure the highest possible level of safety while keeping costs manageable
- Evaluating functional safety and cybersecurity in real environments, using holistic, cross-disciplinary procedures
- Assisting the application of artificial intelligence/machine learning and their integration into the holistic procedure, if required
- Facilitating efficient homologation and approval of autonomous vehicles
Working with leading automotive manufacturers and suppliers worldwide, our experts are involved from the very beginning in the creation and implementation of normative requirements, e.g. ISO 26262 (Functional Safety), ISO/SAE 21434 (Cybersecurity), ISO 2448 (Sotif), ISO PAS 8800 (AI) as well as specific standards for highly automated and autonomous driving, e.g. ISO TS 5083 (Road Vehicles – Safety for automated driving systems – design verification and validation).
We have extensive experience with the evaluation and testing of modern driver-assistance systems and other complex electronics, including the system-side application of artificial intelligence. We evaluated and approved the first system according to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Level 3 for series production. We are also active in defining regulations with regard to legal framework conditions in the relevant international committees.
With our interdisciplinary and closely networked global team, we help makers of highly automated and autonomous vehicles to meet these new challenges with the following areas of expertise:
