Advanced Safety Architecture for Automotive Systems

Abstract- This presentation gives a review of various advanced system architecture deployed by the safety critical components such as brakes and steering. The presentation talks about various type of redundant architectures deployed for autonomous driving conditions. It also discusses about advantages and disadvantages of such architectural changes. An overview of advance controls strategy for Steer By Wire, Brake by Wire will be discussed in this presentation.
