ISO 26262: Automotive Functional Safety Crash-Course 2026

Every year, automotive companies lose millions in recalls caused by functional safety failures. Since July 2024, UNECE WP. 29 has made cybersecurity compliance mandatory — and the pressure on functional safety is accelerating right alongside it.

Most engineers learn ISO 26262 on the job, under deadline pressure, from colleagues who are also figuring it out. That's how safety gaps happen. Here's exactly what you'll walk away with:A complete HARA for a Battery Management System, from operating situations through ASIL derivation and Safety Goals — using the included HARA Workbook.

The ability to read and apply ASIL decomposition rules correctly (the most misused concept in ISO 26262). FMEDA methodology from scratch: FIT rates, fault categories, SPFM/LFM/PMHF calculation — using the FMEDA Calculator toolkit. Full software safety coverage: MISRA C, MC/DC, tool qualification, and SW safety analysis.

The modern safety standards map: how ISO 26262 connects to SOTIF, ISO PAS 8800, ISO 21434, and ASPICE. What makes this different from the 4-hour crash courses on Udemy? Depth and completeness.

This course covers the full lifecycle — concept through production — with real worked examples and downloadable tools, not just slides. Designed for automotive engineers, embedded developers, safety managers, quality managers, and anyone entering the automotive supply chain. No prior ISO 26262 knowledge required.
