Clinging to a fail-safe mindset costs you the race

Functional safety ISO 26262

Supercharge your pace! Outdated fail-safe thinking leaves you vulnerable. These designs collapse under the real-world pressure of building and launching autonomous vehicles, exposing cracks before you even notice them. The shift from fail-safe to fail-operational is no longer optional, it’s required.

Every ECU tweak, system update, and attempt to scale multiplies risks, and the challenge grows when fail-operational systems demand a consistent new mindset and safety approach. We understand.

In this free webinar, Elektrobit’s Lucian Badescu breaks down why fail-operational systems are essential, how to overcome the hurdles, and what it really takes to deliver guaranteed, continuous, and reliable operation.

Key topics and takeaways:

  • Differentiate between fail-safe and fail-operational E/E systems and their impact on driving experience
  • Understand why fail-operational systems are required for SAE Level 3–5 and x-by-wire systems
  • Learn how an ASIL D fail-operational control system ensures continuous, safe operation
  • See how existing AUTOSAR fail-safe systems can be transitioned into fail-operational systems, saving time and resources

Fail-operational mastery is the edge your competitors are chasing

The wrong timing can slow progress, increase costs, and leave teams struggling to keep pace while competitors advance with safer, more reliable systems.

The window to get fail-operational right is closing fast, and every delay risks costly rework, stalled schedules, and compromised safety credibility. Download the webinar, Fail-operational Systems: The Key to Safe and Reliable Software-Defined Vehicles, and discover how to build ASIL-D fail-operational control systems that keep vehicles running safely, transition existing AUTOSAR fail-safe systems into fail-operational architectures to save time and resources, efficiently separate and isolate fail-operational and non-fail-operational applications, ensure continuous operation without unnecessary re-qualifications, and minimize hardware redundancy while maintaining safety-critical reliability.
