ISO/PAS 21448

ISO/PAS 21448, also known as SOTIF (Safety Of The Intended Functionality), is a standard that guides the safety assessment of advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous vehicles. It focuses on identifying and managing risks arising from system limitations and environmental factors that could lead to unsafe behavior, even when the system functions as intended. Essentially, it ensures that these systems are designed, tested, and validated to operate safely under real-world conditions, reducing the likelihood of accidents caused by unexpected scenarios or sensor limitations.
