Description
Modern vehicles increasingly rely on advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and complex software-driven functionality. While traditional functional safety (ISO 26262) addresses failures, it does not fully cover risks caused by insufficient or unintended system behavior.
This is where SOTIF (ISO 21448) comes into play.
This course provides a clear and practical introduction to the Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF). You will learn how hazards can arise even when systems are functioning as designed, and how to systematically identify, analyze, and mitigate these risks.
The course walks you through the complete SOTIF lifecycle – from hazard identification and scenario analysis to verification, validation, and operation phase activities.
Using structured explanations and practical examples, you will understand how SOTIF is applied in real automotive projects, especially in the context of ADAS and autonomous driving systems.
This training is ideal for engineers, developers, and safety professionals who want to go beyond traditional functional safety and build a deeper understanding of modern automotive safety challenges.

“It was such a great experience in learning Fusa from such a genius person!! concept were very clear and the way of teaching was very simple.”
Rohan Arora
“Great introduction to the most relevant parts of ASPICE. Totally recommended for beginners!“
Jose F. Gonzalez A.
“Great overview of ASPICE!”
Veselina Demireva
“The course is very structured and is based on the chapters of ISO 21434, which helped me a lot to compare the content of the course with the standard. This course is highly recommended for an initial overview of ISO. The content is clearly explained and easy to understand.”
Markus Simon
“The course has broken down a rather tough topic into a simpler words by connecting the right dots.“
Priyanka Pacharne
“Amazing, above expectations!“
Asfiyan Ali Khan
“I am coming to this program with 20+ years of experience with MIL-STD-882. This class allowed me to see what I would need to change in order to transition from 882 to ISO 26262. Overall, I thought this was a good presentation. I think the class provides a good overview for both the novice safety engineer and the old and crusty veteran. The class brought out many topics that forced me to go back to my old standard”
Patrick Norris
“Over all the course was really amazing with usefull information”
