Ensuring Safe Development and Application of AI in Automotive Industry

Apr 08, 2025
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the automotive industry, enabling advancements such as autonomous driving, predictive maintenance, and intelligent vehicle systems. However, these innovations come with significant safety challenges. Ensuring the reliability and security of AI-driven systems is essential to prevent malfunctions, reduce risks, and comply with stringent global safety regulations.
To address these challenges, the ISO 8800 standard was developed by the ISO/TC22/SC32 Road Vehicle Artificial Intelligence Safety Working Group, providing a structured framework to guide the safe development and application of AI technologies in the automotive sector. This standard is an extension of the well-known ISO 26262 functional safety standard for road vehicles, adapting its principles to the gaps and unique risks of AI components.
