The Safety Behind Connected Vehicles

Season 1, Ep. 2

Connected vehicles offer a lot of benefits..But as cars become more electronic in nature, more like rolling computers, the role of safety becomes critical. How will a car respond when something goes wrong in its electronic system or in a single component? That's what a specialized safety discipline called Functional Safety seeks to anticipate and protect against. This topic is the basis of our most recent NXP Smarter World Podcast, guest hosted by John Quain, automotive journalist and technology expert. John is joined by Gareth Price, functional safety manager at McLaren Applied, and Franck Galtié, director automotive functional safety at NXP Semiconductors
