Automotive SOTIF
Delivering robust solutions to ensure Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) in complex automotive systems.
As automotive systems evolve toward higher levels of automation, ensuring safety extends beyond conventional Functional Safety (ISO 26262). SOTIF addresses hazards arising from intended functionality and performance limitations in ADAS and autonomous vehicles.
End-to-End SOTIF Engineering
Support across the full SOTIF lifecycle — from specification to release criteria and approval readiness.
Comprehensive System Assurance
We align SOTIF with Functional Safety (ISO 26262) and Cybersecurity (ISO 21434) for complete system-level coverage.
Our services span the entire SOTIF lifecycle — from functional specification to release — ensuring safety, performance, and regulatory compliance.
Engineering & Analysis
- Functional and System Specification: Item Definition phase equivalent for SOTIF
- Hazard Identification and Evaluation: detection and assessment of hazards from intended functionality
- Hazard Cause Analysis: analyze limitations, weaknesses, and triggering conditions
Mitigation, V&V & Release
- Risk Reduction: functional improvements or ODD restrictions to mitigate SOTIF-related risks
- Verification & Validation: define robust SOTIF V&V strategies
- SOTIF Release: establish methodology and criteria for SOTIF approval
We utilize industry-standard tools and deep domain experience to deliver reliable, audit-ready SOTIF solutions.
