Live Training: ISO 21448 SOTIF Introduction

Focus

ISO 21448 (SOTIF)

Where

Online or In-Person

Duration

1 Day

Target Audience

Engineers

Managers

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of ISO 26262 recommended

Overview

Advanced driving functions rely on sensing, complex algorithms and actuation. Even without faults, they can behave hazardously because of functional insufficiencies or performance limitations, for example when a function misjudges a situation, relies on machine learning or is not robust to sensor and environmental variations. ISO 21448 addresses this safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF), as a complement to ISO 26262.

This one-day course gives a structured overview of ISO 21448 and its requirements.
