We are also excited to welcome for the first time David Boymanns from BMW AG on connections between cyber security and functional safety in automated driving. David ‘s presentation gives a rough overview of the differences and connections of cyber security and functional safety in the domain of automated driving. At the beginning the scopes are presented and the most important features are pointed out. With this background, the connections of the two disciplines are discussed along the V-model. The presentation ends with an overview of the current standardization activities in this area, in order to then move on to a joint exchange of experiences with the experts present.

His role includes bridging these three domains in daily business as well as on standardization level.
