Synopsys announced that after independent evaluation by SGS TÜV Saar, the company has become the first to achieve product certification for ISO/PAS 8800, outlining the safety requirements for the use of AI in road vehicles. Due to the number of sensors in on-road vehicles utilizing AI, data delay is critical and secure, real-time communication is now a must for automotive safety. ISO/PAS 8800 focuses on verified product behavior, not just development processes.

With the ISO/PAS 8800 certification, Synopsys enhances its ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434 certifications while demonstrating that its MACsec IP not only secures data but also safeguards the predictable timing behavior required for AI-driven environments. According to the press release, MACsec is the industry-standard technology used to protect Ethernet communication inside vehicles while ensuring that data communication between sensors, processors, and control systems remains true and untampered.
