ISO/PAS 8800:2024 Road Vehicles - Safety and artificial intelligence


Summary

This specification applies to safety-related systems in series-production road vehicles that use artificial intelligence (AI) technology. It addresses how undesired safety-related behaviours can emerge at the vehicle level due to AI element output deficiencies, systematic errors or hardware faults. It provides industry-specific guidance tailored to AI within automotive safety engineering, including how existing automotive safety standards should be extended for AI functions.


Key Takeaways

  • Focuses on AI elements within road vehicles and the associated safety risks arising from output insufficiency, systematic errors and random hardware faults of those AI elements.
  • Serves as an extension and adaptation of existing automotive safety standards (such as ISO 26262 and ISO 21448) specifically for AI-based vehicle systems.
  • Provides a conceptual model for AI safety in vehicles, including how to derive safety requirements, how to build safety assurance arguments, and how to manage AI system lifecycles in the automotive domain.
  • Emphasizes that the standard does not prescribe specific AI methods or software tools, but rather focuses on high-level safety properties and assurance frameworks for AI in automotive systems.
