AUTOMOTIVE SOTIF (SAFETY OF THE INTENDED FUNCTIONALITY)

Bridging SOTIF and Functional Safety for comprehensive automotive system assurance.

Automotive SOTIF (ISO/PAS 21448)

Delivering robust solutions to ensure Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) in complex automotive systems.

As automotive systems evolve toward higher levels of automation, ensuring safety extends beyond conventional Functional Safety (ISO 26262). SOTIF addresses hazards arising from intended functionality and performance limitations in ADAS and autonomous vehicles.

Our comprehensive SOTIF services focus on hazard identification, risk mitigation, and system optimization to minimize risks associated with intended functionality. With modern toolchains and practical autonomous-vehicle experience, we help ensure ISO/PAS 21448 alignment and deliver safer, more reliable systems.

How We Can Help

End-to-end SOTIF engineering services across analysis, mitigation, verification, and release readiness.

End-to-End SOTIF Engineering

Support across the full SOTIF lifecycle—from specification to release criteria and approval readiness.

Comprehensive System Assurance

We align SOTIF with Functional Safety (ISO 26262) and Cybersecurity (ISO 21434) for complete coverage.

SOTIF Process and Risk Management

Our services span the entire SOTIF lifecycle—from functional specification to release—ensuring safety, performance, and regulatory compliance.

Engineering & Analysis

  • Functional and System Specification: Equivalent to the Item Definition phase in ISO 26262, creating a strong foundation for SOTIF analysis.
  • Hazard Identification and Evaluation: Detection and assessment of hazards arising from intended functionality (similar to HARA intent).
  • Hazard Cause Analysis: Analyze limitations, weaknesses, and triggering conditions.

Mitigation, V&V, Release

  • Risk Reduction: Functional improvements or ODD restrictions to mitigate SOTIF-related risks.
  • Verification & Validation: Define robust SOTIF V&V strategies.
  • SOTIF Release: Establish methodology and criteria for SOTIF approval.
