In this exclusive interview, Hugues Bonnin, Senior Expert in Safety of Connected Services at AUMOVIO, shares whether AI is primarily viewed within AUMOVIO as a safety enabler, a productive tool, or an unavoidable risk, and how that framing influences how it’s governed and trusted. Hugues provides insight into where AI genuinely adds value in the automotive safety lifecycle, and where he sees the greatest potential for AI to accelerate or enhance safety-related activities.

Hugues will be presenting at Automotive Functional Safety Week 2026 and gives a preview of what attendees can take away from his session.

In this exclusive interview, Daniel Koroll, Quality Planner, Software Assessment, Porsche AG, shares insight into how functional safety and cyber security are often developed in silos. He covers where they most commonly come into conflict, how AI is used to support functional safety and cyber security, and how to balance the pressure to innovate quickly with the need for robust safety assurance when introducing AI‑enabled processes.

Daniel finishes by sharing advice to companies at the early stage of building a unified strategy for safety and security, and what developments will most change how safety and security are executed together.

In this interview, Abhash Das, Safety Standards Technical Manager at VinFast Europe, outlines the key SOTIF requirements that OEMs and suppliers need to address when developing ADAS and ADS, as well as the approaches that work best for demonstrating that automated systems can operate safely in both known and unforeseen situations. Abhash also discusses how the industry needs to evolve to keep pace with changing SOTIF requirements, and the steps organisations can take to ensure functional safety and cyber security activities are aligned rather than handled in silos.
