Conference Day Two

Monday, September 2nd, 2019

9:10 AM Keynote Opening Presentation: The Impact of ISO/PAS 21448 SOTIF on the Semiconductor Industry

Part 11, solely focusing on the semiconductor industry, was just recently added to the ISO 26262 standard. This speech focusses on the impact the ISO/PAS 21448 will have on the semiconductor industry, e.g. on sensors verification and validation. Riccardo Mariani, leader of ISO26262 part 11, explains if SOTIF will also need or not a dedicated chapter or annex on semiconductors. In this case, Riccardo is represented by his colleague Frank Noha.

9:50 AM Leveraging deep neural networks to ensure autonomous vehicle safety

This presentation will specifically delve into how the integration of Deep Neural Networks

(DNNs) for autonomous driving is impacting traditional development approaches, and how

OEMs, Tier1s, and Tier2s can work together to build safer AVs through DNNs.

• Role of DNNs in autonomous driving

• Traditional development approach

• OEM/Tier1/Tier2 collaboration challenges ( Performance and safety optimization for complex hardware, DNN training, Adaptation of trained DNNs for new vehicles, DNN compliance with SOTIF, V&V of DNNs)

• Future challenges
