Introduction to the future ISO26262.

Functional safety:
Part of the overall safety that depends on a system or equipment operating correctly in response to its inputs.

With regards to:
* Specification, implementation or realization errors
* Failure during operation period
* Reasonably foreseeable operational errors
* Reasonably foreseeable misuse.

Today, there is no legal requirement for certification of compliance of automotive E/E systems with IEC61508 (or future ISO 26262). But it is already voluntary adherenced.

Leassons learnt from application of IEC 61508 in automotive industry:
* Not adapted to real-time embedded systems
* Not adapted to automotive development and life cycles
* No requirements for manufacturer / supplier relationship
* No 'Consumer-goods' orientation...

ISO 26262 should overcome the issues of IEC 61508.
