CONFERENCE SPEECH TITLE : Artificial Intelligence and Automotive Functional Safety (FuSA): Building Smarter and Safer Cars

SHORT DESCRIPTION : This keynote takes the audience on a journey through the basics of Automotive Functional Safety — from QM to ASIL-D — showing how these safety levels directly impact the cars we drive every day. Using real examples from lighting systems, ADAS, and battery management, it highlights why these standards are not just technical requirements, but safeguards for human life. Finally, it explores how Artificial Intelligence, when combined with FuSA principles, can help us design vehicles that are not only smarter, but also safer and more trustworthy for the future of mobility.
