Automotive Functional Safety Engineering: ISO 26262, SOTIF, Cybersecurity, ADAS, and Safety-Critical Software for Electric and Autonomous Vehicles (Software-Defined Vehicle Engineering Series)

Modern vehicles run millions of lines of software, managing everything from braking to autonomous steering. Automotive Functional Safety Engineering is a practical guide to navigating the complexities of modern automotive safety standards. Moving beyond bureaucratic checklists, this book delivers a systematic engineering approach to preventing electronic and software failures in safety-critical vehicle systems.

Written for practicing software developers, ECU architects, systems engineers, and Tier-1 supplier teams, this comprehensive manual bridges the gap between standards theory and real-world implementation.

Inside this guide, you will master:

• ISO 26262 Implementation: Step-by-step HARA methodology and realistic ASIL derivation.
• Hardware Fault Metrics: Calculated examples of SPFM, LFM, and PMHF.
• Software Quality: Best practices for MISRA C, MC/DC coverage, and ASIL D software development.
• SOTIF & Autonomous Safety: Apply ISO 21448 to address perception limitations in AI-based systems.
• Cybersecurity Integration: Navigate the integration challenges of ISO 21434 with functional safety.
• ADAS Architecture Patterns: Deep chapters covering steer-by-wire and highway pilot safety.

Whether you are designing ECU hardware or programming autonomous driving logic, this book equips you with the methodologies, tools, and case studies needed to build resilient, compliant, and market-ready automotive systems. Protect your drivers, secure your code, and engineer with confidence.
