Webinar: Safe AI in vehicles

Details

Functional safety protects against malfunctions.
Cybersecurity protects against attacks.

But what about a system that does exactly what it’s supposed to do, yet fails in a situation that no one has explicitly described?

SOTIF, the “Safety of the Intended Functionality” as defined by ISO 21448, addresses precisely this gap. While functional safety and cybersecurity have long been established in many engineering teams, SOTIF remains the pillar with the most question marks for most.

In this 20-minute webinar, Guido Werner demonstrates what SOTIF actually requires of your engineering team, where the distinction lies between SOTIF and functional safety and cybersecurity, and which three steps enable a solid introduction, even without prior SOTIF knowledge. Practical, free of standards jargon, with an open Q&A session at the end.
 

What you’ll learn in this webinar

• The blind spot of established methods: Why neither HARA nor TARA cover risks arising from functional inadequacies, and what this gap means for your safety case.
• Classifying SOTIF as a standalone discipline: How SOTIF differs from functional safety and cybersecurity, and why the methodology is relevant in almost all areas, from drive control to energy management.
• Apply three concrete first steps: Clearly describe the use case and Operational Design Domain (ODD), systematically identify triggering conditions, and select a validation strategy appropriate for the function.
• Avoiding late findings and costly rework: What happens when SOTIF is only brought to the table shortly before SOP, why OTA updates further intensify the pressure to provide evidence, and how to close gaps in the safety case in a timely manner.
   

Who is this webinar ideal for?

For developers, product owners, quality engineers, and project planners who want to methodically classify SOTIF and integrate it into their existing safety processes.
