Why interoperability matters in automotive functional safety AI-driven vehicles demand more than just fault tolerance or diagnostic checks. They require interoperability: between layers, between domains, and across lifecycles. At the Automotive Computing Conference 2025, Jyotika Athavale, Director at IEEE and Synopsys, made a clear case for embedding interoperability into the DNA of automotive systems. Benjamin Müller
Is intelligent positioning the next leap in vehicle navigation? Global navigation satellite systems like GPS have powered modern mobility for decades—but their limitations are becoming increasingly evident.
