Safety Q&A on ISO 26262 and beyond with VP John Buszek
|
|
AutonomouStuff Vice President of Products and Services John Buszek's work with our engineers and customers often involves considerations for
complex automotive safety standards
.
The
ISO 26262
standard represents the benchmark for electric and/or electronic systems safety in production automobiles. A rigorous, risk-based analysis is necessary to achieve such certification — and it comes at great cost to manufacturers.
We asked John, What are some challenges in developing autonomous vehicles towards the ISO 26262 standard?
And he answered,
"Software development time and cost are among the many challenges. That’s not unique to autonomous driving, but there is even more time and cost in developing
ASIL autonomous system software
when compared to other domains of automotive electronics, due to the increased complexity. Moving prototype autonomy software into a development process required by ISO 26262 is a very significant investment."
Be sure to read the
full Q&A
with John to learn more about how considerations for safety standards impact autonomous vehicle development.

University of Illinois expands autonomous safety with AS
|
|
The Center for Autonomy at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been busy putting an AutonomouStuff
Polaris GEM Automated Research Development Platform
enabled by the PACMod drive-by-wire system to good use: exploring
autonomous vehicle safety
in a variety of contexts.
The GEM has been instrumental for:
- publishing research.
- procuring grants.
- creating an autonomous research safety course.
Check out our updated
case study
with The Grainger College of Engineering for more details on how students and faculty are using our platform to develop the
next generation of mobility

Highlight: Qumulo Shift for AWS S3
|
|
The industry leader for hybrid cloud storage solutions has introduced the
first-ever native cloud service
enabling organizations to seamlessly leverage their data with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The launch of
Qumulo Shift for AWS S3
moves any file data from Qumulo on-site storage or public cloud clusters into Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and transforms it into an open format.
With Qumulo Shift for AWS S3, organizations can:
- take full advantage of valuable and growing file data.
- create faster business outcomes leveraging the cloud.
- migrate and store data from thousands of sources.
And don't miss our upcoming
webinar with Qumulo
for more details on how data intelligence accelerates autonomous vehicle research.

Webinar recap: Integration of Functional Safety and Cybersecurity
|
|
Functional safety in the automotive industry is no longer just about mechanical components. With the increasing prevalence of onboard computers, sensors and connected technology, safety engineering now demands a more
holistic approach to entire systems and the ways they communicate
.
On June 18, we hosted Functional Safety Engineer Zoltan Molnar as he presented "Integration of Functional Safety and Cybersecurity — Analysis Connection Points in Automotive Standards and Beyond."
The webinar and Q&A with Zoltan is now available in its entirety for on-demand viewing and can be found
here
