New technologies and the recent barrage of UNECE regulations intended to police their use mean a seismic safety and security shake-up for automotive systems engineering.
Alastair Ruddle, Horiba MIRA’s chief scientist of vehicle resilience technologies, untangles the changes afoot.
Cybersecurity is the latest systems engineering consideration to join the established ranks of functional safety and the safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF).
While ostensibly addressing a familiar automotive engineering domain of risk, these new challenges introduce some fundamentally new and far-reaching consequences for the industry, evidenced by the three new UNECE regulations adopted in March this year, spanning cybersecurity (R155), software updates (R156) and automated lane-keeping systems (R157).
These new requirements broaden the scope for threats that demand a risk engineering solution, add a substantial new product lifecycle obligation for vehicle manufacturers, introduce new operational contexts that require solutions and extend traditionally understood safety engineering into new areas of consideration. In total, this represents a major reset for automotive systems engineering.
