Principles for Building Safe Embedded Software Systems

摘要

According to a QNX whitepaper, “Safety must be embedded in the practices, processes, and culture of every organization building safety-critical systems. Safe system design continues to evolve as embedded systems become more autonomous, connected, and shared. Autonomous systems pose new challenges for safety engineers. For example, autonomous cars need to be run through a multitude of simulations, thoroughly trained, and demonstrated safe. Then there is the issue of updating software: When connected systems receive updates on the fly, it can interfere with a safety system.” The whitepaper will serve as a worthy primer to automotive executives not fully immersed in the safety certification topic. Blackberry QNX is the world’s leading supplier of safety-certified, secure and reliable software for the automotive industry.
