Supporting the Safe Development of Autonomous Driving Systems

The transition from advanced driver assistance to increasingly autonomous driving systems has fundamentally changed how safety is achieved. These systems combine AI-enabled vehicle functions, sophisticated software, and complex safety-critical system interactions to perform the driving task with limited or no involvement from the driver – requiring an integrated approach to safety, validation, and assurance.

Since 2012, SRES consultants have supported the safe development and deployment of autonomous driving technologies, from early prototype vehicle programs through large-scale commercial autonomous vehicle deployments. We support automotive OEMs, Tier 1 and 2 suppliers, and autonomous vehicle developers in applying Functional Safety (ISO 26262), SOTIF (ISO 21448), AI safety (ISO/PAS 8800), and cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434) throughout the product lifecycle, helping organizations develop safer autonomous driving systems while building robust safety assurance arguments and supporting compliance with modern automotive safety standards.
