Automotive Functional Safety Requirements
The automotive industry is one where system failures are simply not tolerated. Any occurrence of failure exposes vehicle manufacturers to significant risks, including lawsuits, compensation claims, and severe damage to their reputation. To prevent system failures, a stringent and reliable development process must be established to guide system development engineers.

During the development of automotive electronics, the demand for cost efficiency, reliability, and speed has led to the widespread adoption of embedded systems. However, this has also brought challenges due to the lack of standardized software design. As systems become increasingly complex, design, maintenance, and upgrades have become more difficult. Therefore, the push for standardization of automotive software has long been a core need and concern within the automotive industry. From the early OSEK/VDX to the more recent AUTOSAR, these frameworks are the result of such demands.
