The functional safety standard (ISO-26262) has been a technical standard that the domestic automobile industry has focused on since its first edition in 2011 (note: the second edition was released in 2018). Unlike the introduction of traditional quality standards such as ISO 9001 and TS-16949, which focus on the process, functional safety standards often bring more or less challenges and opportunities when companies implement this standard because of the strong binding characteristics of their technical framework and product architecture.
Baidu Group, Apollo Zhilian and Apollo Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. have been investing heavily in the mass production of autonomous driving solutions since 2016. During this period, they developed a variety of products spanning Robotaxi, Robobus, AVP autonomous parking system, ANP automatic driving system, domain controller, high-precision map, vehicle-road coordination and other products. Among them, the autonomous driving basic software platform developed based on the SOA architecture, as the autonomous driving middleware, must pass the most stringent functional safety ASIL D requirements. Baidu invited the most professional in the field of global safety technology and deeply involved in the development and certification of AP/CP safety modules of companies such as EB/ Vector/ KPIT: Yaxi Safety System (Shanghai) Co. , Ltd. During the period, the Yaana team assisted Baidu in the development of the two modules of "Apollo Autonomous Driving Message Middleware" and "Apollo Autonomous Driving Computing and Communication Software Platform" to achieve safer product definition, architecture setting and code implementation, and finally successfully passed the ASIL D product evaluation certification, and was awarded the exida functional safety certificate with ANSI/ANAB qualification .
During the cooperation process between the two parties, Baidu and Yayan have dialectically discussed the security concept of data communication and the definition of module products countless times. Although the project time period is tight, the senior expert team of Yaana and Baidu's software team with strong execution and code implementation capabilities have closely collided with each other and reached an effective inheritance of professional experience. In the end, Baidu's development team narrowed down 130 assessment questions, completed product security development, and launched a trustworthy software module in the market.
Wang Liang, chairman of Baidu's autonomous driving technology committee, said: "Safety first" is Baidu's autonomous driving value. The product certification this time is also a manifestation of Baidu's long-term investment in security development. Baidu has been practicing the application of the most stringent safety standards in autonomous driving. Not only the certification of functional safety products, Baidu is also a founding member of several international standards for autonomous driving safety, promoting the development of the entire industry with its own technical strength.
In addition, Lin Yusen, Executive Director of Yayan Security System (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. mentioned: [Yanalysis’ technical team firmly believes that certification is not just a beautiful certificate of award to the customer, but a process in which the certifier and the customer jointly create a reliable security product. For example, the Baidu development team modified the code many times during the entire project cycle to meet the security requirements of the certification review officer, which is enough to prove our certification philosophy. The essence of functional safety is to do a good job in product development. Even if we help customers with certification, we are also assisting customers in product development. Thanks to the Baidu development team for agreeing with our philosophy and choosing us to participate in this project together. 】
In the future, more and more advanced and complex products will be launched in the domestic auto market, and most of these products also require higher security: Whether it is functional safety, expected functional safety or network security, these are issues that manufacturers cannot avoid. The Baidu Apollo team will always be the first to develop a technological path and implementable solutions for the market. At the same time, Yaana will continue to invest and instill the technical concepts it adheres to, so that various advanced technologies can serve safety; at the same time, safety technology itself can truly serve various cutting-edge automotive applications.
