Functional Safety from Component to the Cloud

The lecture will introduce Functional Safety, walking through the key requirements for automotive and industrial. Functional Safety main pillars will be described and then diving in challenges and solutions from component to the cloud. The lecture will also review some of the new frontiers of Functional Safety such as the intersection with Artificial Intelligence and the possibility of Violation of safety goal without failures. The lecture will conclude by answering to the question if Automated Driving is a reality or a dream.
