The automotive sector is experiencing a funda-mental change due to the rapidly advancing digitalization, alternative drive concepts, networking of vehicles and infrastructures as well as autono-mous driving functions. The ongoing development of classic methods and procedures to ensure the required software quality of safety-critical components no longer meets current automotive require-ments. The opening up of global network systems creates new requirements for safeguards against illegal access and for protection of personal data.
The Automotive Safety & Security conferences address the key issues of reliability and security of software-based functions in the automotive sector.
