Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) for Automotive Professionals
Ensuring the safety of a driving automation system encompasses two aspects, namely (1) the avoidance of unreasonable risk caused by malfunctioning behavior of the system as well as (2) the avoidance of unreasonable risk caused by hazards associated with the intended functionality and its implementation, e.g. due to performance limitations. The first aspect - known as functional safety - has been addressed by the industry for quite some time already and is described by the established ISO 26262 standard.
