As ISO 26262 matures, the automotive industry faces fresh challenges due to advancements in electrification, autonomous driving, software-defined vehicles, and AI applications. These developments introduce unprecedented levels of complexity when it comes to ensuring safety. Additionally, SOTIF is rapidly emerging, and safety experts are gearing up for decisions regarding the third edition of ISO 26262. To prepare for this new edition, OEMs and Suppliers are seeking updated guidance to adapt to the ongoing changes in the automotive sector.

Key points of discussion for part 1:
