When we look at today's focus of our safety efforts, we see that we mostly deal with the following topics:
- Functional safety
- Safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF)
- Safety in use (SiU)
- Security
- Active/passive safety systems
Functional safety and the ISO 26262 deal with safety-related systems that include one or more E/E systems (electrical and/or electronic) and the corresponding hazards that come from a malfunction of these E/E safety-related systems. Safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF) refers to hazards resulting from functional insufficiencies of the intended functionality.
