ISO/PAS 8800: Safety Standard for Artificial Intelligence in Road Vehicles

Executive Summary

ISO/PAS 8800 is a newly established international standard designed to enhance the safety of road vehicles equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Developed in response to the rapid integration of complex AI technologies in the automotive sector, the standard supplements existing safety frameworks—specifically ISO 26262 (Functional Safety) and ISO 21448 (Safety of the Intended Functionality, or SOTIF).

The standard introduces a holistic, lifecycle-based safety framework for electrical and electronic (E/E) components that utilize AI. Key takeaways include:

• Integration with Existing Standards: It bridges the gap between deterministic functional safety and the management of edge cases in AI systems. ...
