Cockpit and interior electronics are rapidly becoming safety critical, from adaptive lighting and digital displays to driver and occupant monitoring. This session explores how AI-assisted functional safety can extend ISO 26262 and SoTIF principles into the cabin. Using case studies in lighting, BMS and predictive monitoring, Marelli will demonstrate methods to design fault-tolerant interior ECUs that remain reliable under thermal, EMC and signal-integrity stress. Attendees will gain practical strategies to apply AI for fault prediction, validation and explainability, enabling trustworthy, software-defined interiors that meet ASIL targets while enhancing user experience.

• How to apply ISO 26262 and SoTIF principles to cockpit and interior ECUs such as lighting, displays and driver monitoring systems
• Practical methods for AI-enabled fault prediction, diagnostics and predictive safety monitoring in in-cabin electronics
• Techniques to ensure thermal, EMC,and signal integrity robustness in safety-critical interior systems
• Strategies for achieving ASIL compliance and auditable safety cases in software-defined interiors
• How to bridge human factors and functional safety to design trustworthy, user-centric HMI and lighting alerts
