ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level)

ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) is a classification used to assess the importance of different functions in a vehicle’s safety system. It prioritizes safety features based on how much harm could occur if they fail, ranging from ASIL A (least critical) to ASIL D (most critical). Higher levels mean the system must meet stricter safety standards to prevent accidents and protect passengers. Essentially, ASIL helps engineers design and verify automotive systems to ensure that critical safety functions perform reliably in various situations.
