The Smartcode project is working towards a practical, publicly available recommended practice based on the ISO 26262 functional safety standard for road vehicles. The project partners explain why and how.
Modern systems are taking over more and more tasks from humans. Road vehicles include an increasing number of support systems, and it won’t take long for the fully autonomous vehicle to present itself. Robots have evolved from handy production tools into versatile value-adding solutions. As cobots, they even interact with humans, further expanding their usability.
