AI Safety Standards for Automated Driving Systems

Abstract: Automated driving systems, which assume human driving tasks, are safety-critical technologies requiring rigorous safety assurance. Their development is guided by legislation and technical standards that define safety requirements and practices. ISO 26262 addresses functional safety in road vehicles, while ISO 21448 (SOTIF) focuses on the safety of intended functionality, particularly for automated features. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) introduces new challenges due to its non-deterministic behavior. Recent standards, including ISO 8800, ISO 5469, and ISO 5083, extend the safety framework to AI-driven systems. ISO 8800 defines AI-specific safety requirements, ISO 5469 provides general AI safety principles, and ISO 5083 applies them to automated driving. This presentation analyses their methodological approaches, additional safety requirements, and prescriptive guidance, identifying areas for refinement to improve their practical value for developers and safety engineers.
