An Executive-Level Discussion on Adopting Functional Safety

New and existing products must follow safety measures to avoid, detect, and/or control system failures. In some cases, industries are well-established, such as commercial aerospace. In the automotive industry’s case, full evolution into electrification and autonomy is in effect. As the journey spans across the automotive industry, technology has surpassed safety standards and regulations. ISO 26262 is State of The Art (SOTA) for functional safety but does not hold one’s hand on how to create an effective development process. The “how” is the discriminator, it is where some corporations will lose, and some will win.

Organizations will have to transform and align to the visions of the future, analyzing the steps and which ones to take. Join LHP’s functional safety expert, Steven Fraser, PhD, to recognize the benefits and mitigate risks when adopting ISO 26262.

By the end of this session, you should be able to:

1. Recognize the internal benefits and revenue potential by implementing ISO 26262

2. Discuss tort liability and its potential effects on litigation and the aftermath of a safety-related accident

3. Identify driving influences and key management objectives when adopting ISO 26262
