Lenovo Vehicle Computing has announced that it has received ISO 26262 certification (functional safety management system ASIL-D) from TÜV Rheinland, which assesses, tests and monitors safety and transportation technology.
ISO 26262 is an international standard aimed at minimizing risks in electrical and electronic system failures in automobiles, as cars increasingly become autonomous, connected and electrified. ASIL-D is the highest level of the ISO 26262 functional safety standard and has the most stringent development process requirements.
Lenovo, which supplies intelligent domain controller products and solutions to automobile manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers, recognizes that as technological complexity increases, the inclusion of multifeatured infotainment systems, driver assistance technologies and electronically controlled safety features have fueled the growth of software in the automotive industry.
Through TÜV ‘s certification process, Lenovo has successfully implemented a functional safety management system, so that its computing technology and AI expertise can deliver intelligent mobility solutions.
Donny Tang, Lenovo’s vice president and head of Lenovo Vehicle Computing and Lenovo Research’s vehicle computing lab, said, “Receiving ISO 26262 functional safety management system certification is a significant milestone for us, demonstrating that we’ve established a comprehensive development process system that meets the highest automotive functional safety requirements and industry standards.”
Lutz Frankholz, executive director of TÜV Rheinland in Shanghai, added, “TÜV Rheinland and Lenovo have been working closely in various fields for many years, and the ISO 26262 functional safety management certification issued to Lenovo Vehicle Computing is a boost to the development of Lenovo Vehicle Computing in the automotive area.”
