Collaborate on Linux for Use in Safety-Critical Systems

Explore the potential of Linux in safety-critical systems through this insightful conference talk by Lukas Bulwahn from BMW Car IT GmbH. Delve into the industry trend of building fully autonomous systems and the challenges of managing complex software with high performance, safety, and security requirements. Learn about OSADL's SIL2LinuxMP project and its initial investigations into using Linux for safety-critical applications. Discover the goals, development models, and business strategies for a collaborative approach to adapting Linux for these demanding environments. Gain valuable insights into functional safety, risk management, and the IEC 61508 standard. Examine the differences between safety-critical and mainline Linux, and understand the concept of a safety-critical hypervisor. Benefit from Bulwahn's extensive experience in researching open-source software platforms for autonomous driving systems and his involvement in developing the Adaptive AUTOSAR standard.
