ASIL D

ASIL D (Automotive Safety Integrity Level D) is the highest safety rating in the ISO 26262 standard for automotive systems, indicating that a function has a very high risk associated with failure. If an ASIL D component fails or malfunctions, it could cause serious or fatal accidents. Therefore, such systems are designed with the strictest safety measures, thorough testing, and redundancies to ensure they operate correctly and safely under all conditions. Think of it as a gold standard for safety critical components in vehicles, where failure could have the most severe consequences.
