Course Duration: 2 Days - 8 Hours/day

The automotive world is currently undergoing fundamental changes particularly in the development and deployment of electrical vehicles (EVs) and automated vehicles (AVs). The safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF) is becoming increasingly important for the analysis and design of highly automated vehicles. Critical design requirements for EVs and AVs include safety and cybersecurity. This two-day course will give the participant the base knowledge necessary to understand EV and AV design requirements from the perspective of Functional Safety (FS), SOTIF (safety of the intended functionality), and cybersecurity (CS). The course will also provide an overview of the standards ISO 26262 (FS), ISO/FDIS 21448 (SOTIF), and ISO/SAE 21434 (Automotive Cybersecurity). An overview of ISO 27001, United Nations (UN) regulation WP.29, and VDA ACMS (Automotive Cybersecurity Management System) will also be provided.

Learning Objectives

Participants successfully completing this course will be able to:

  • List and explain the basic components, functionality, and architectures of EVs and AVs
  • Explain the nature of thefunctional safety and cybersecurity requirements in the development of EVs and AVs.
  • Analyze the SOTIF objectivesfor safety in the design of AVs.
  • Analyze the perspectives ofSOTIF,functional safety, and cybersecurity in the design of EVs and AVs.
  • List and explain the commonalities and design issues of safety and cybersecurity involving EVs and AVs.
