Overview
SOTIF addresses hazards caused by performance limitations of the intended functionality - particularly critical for ADAS and autonomous driving where sensors, algorithms, and AI can fail in unexpected ways even without hardware faults.
This course covers the complete SOTIF process: identification of triggering conditions, analysis of known and unknown unsafe scenarios, verification strategies, and residual risk evaluation.
With case studies from real ADAS systems (AEB, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control), you'll learn to apply SOTIF systematically alongside ISO 26262 for comprehensive safety coverage.
