The vast majority of automotive projects is safety-critical by nature. Malfunctioning vehicle systems can lead to accidents that threaten human lives, correctly operating active safety and driver assistance systems however contribute substantially to road safety. Accordingly, these projects have to comply with various strict development standards and processes such as ISO26262 or ASPICE which are yet unaware of emerging technologies like AI. Developments targeting automated driving are also highly complex due to the practically infinite variety of driving scenarios that must be handled. This talk aims to identify practices that enable efficient software development in this challenging environment.

Ferenc Hegedüs is a vehicle engineer and an enthusiastic software developer with a main professional area of interest in automated driving. In the last decade he was involved in the software development of various automotive products and pursued his PhD in motion planning for automated road vehicles. He is currently working on algorithms and validation methods for radar sensor-based environment mo...
