Based on long-term experience and professional accumulation in the field of automotive functional safety, TÜV SÜD has developed courses related to ISO/PAS 21448 and its functional safety. For assisted driving systems and autonomous driving, Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) has become a very important supplement to functional safety. Functional safety addresses the overall safety of road vehicle electrical and electronic systems, while the purpose of SOTIF is to minimize risks caused by insufficient functional performance and robustness.

• Understand the basic concepts and requirements of the ISO 21448/SOTIF standard
• Understand the ISO 21448 specification and its relationship with the ISO 26262 standard, as well as implementation requirements for SOTIF.

• Management personnel, safety management personnel, system developers, sensor and component developers, quality management personnel, test engineers; all personnel involved in the development of innovative Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Highly Automated Driving (HAD) functions.

• SOTIF as an important component of the overall safety concept for autonomous vehicles
