ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Levels)

Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL) is a system used in the automotive industry to assess the safety risks of electrical and electronic systems in vehicles. It categorizes the potential dangers into four levels (ASIL A to ASIL D), with ASIL D representing the highest risk. The levels guide manufacturers in designing and testing vehicle systems to ensure they are reliable and safe. Essentially, ASIL helps ensure that critical vehicle functions, such as braking or steering, are properly safeguarded against failures that could lead to accidents and injuries.
