Abstract
The paper presents the concepts behind the developments of technologies, electronics components, communication concepts, embedded systems modules for designing fail-aware, fail-safe, fail-operational (HW and SW redundancy) electronic components and systems architecture that enable the introduction of autonomous/automated driving capabilities of level 4 and 5 future vehicles categories. Focus is given to the automotive standards such as ISO 26262, ISO/PAS 21448. The paper is based on findings of the AutoDrive ECSEL project [1] and gives examples of safety use case scenarios for heterogeneous V2X low latency communication between the autonomous vehicle and the environment.
