FortytwoDot Obtains International Certification for Vehicle Function and Safety Development Process

Hyundai Motor Group's global software center, FortyTwoDot, has obtained international standard certification for the entire development process of software and systems, including autonomous driving vehicle computers. With recognition of the overall development process meeting global functional safety standards, Hyundai Motor Group's transition to SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle) is expected to accelerate.

On the 25th, FortyTwoDot announced that it had acquired ISO 26262 certification from the global certification body DNV. ISO 26262 is an international automotive functional safety standard related to electrical and electronic system faults in vehicles. The certification FortyTwoDot received covers the entire development process including high-performance vehicle computers, software, systems, and hardware. This means the safety of the entire autonomous driving technology development process has been internationally recognized.

Among these, FortyTwoDot obtained the highest level of automotive electronic component safety evaluation, the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) D grade. This certification confirms the capability to independently develop electronic components that require the strictest safety level, ASIL D.

Recently, as various functions such as autonomous driving and connectivity cars are equipped in vehicles, the safety of supporting software and systems has become increasingly important. Automakers are also enforcing compliance with procedures and requirements that meet ASIL D grade from the early stages of electronic component development.

FortyTwoDot has also consecutively acquired international standard certifications such as cybersecurity (ISO 21434) and information security (ISO 27001) within the past year. FortyTwoDot is focusing on software development that reduces system errors in SDVs (Software-Defined Vehicles) and protects personal information.

Song Changhyun, CEO of FortyTwoDot, said, "The international standard certifications that FortyTwoDot has consecutively obtained are meaningful in that they cover the entire development process related to future car functional safety and security, not just specific products," adding, "We will continue to comply with functional safety processes to contribute to creating safe and reliable SDV-based electric vehicles."
