Original Report, 5GAA Automotive Association, June 2021
This White Paper describes the new challenges in the treatment of functional safety arising from the introduction of connected and distributed functions, which are typical for cellular vehicle-to everything (C-V2X) applications.
A dedicated 5GAA technical working group performed a detailed analysis to determine, propose, and evaluate possibilities for mobile network operators, vendors, and any further identified stakeholders to provide vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) what they need to treat safety in new use cases enabled by C-V2X technologies. These new use cases include scenarios beyond those considered in the ISO 26262 standard, which assumes that the functional safety treatment is limited to the perimeter of a single vehicle and does not consider any C-V2X communications with functional parts outside the vehicle.
