NVIDIA Launches DRIVE AI Methods Inspection Lab, Achieves New Trade Security Milestones

A brand new NVIDIA DRIVE AI Methods Inspection Lab will assist automotive ecosystem companions navigate evolving business requirements for autonomous automobile security.

The lab, launched at present, will give attention to inspecting and verifying that automotive companion software program and techniques on the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform meet the automotive business’s stringent security and cybersecurity requirements, together with AI practical security.

The lab has been accredited by the ANSI Nationwide Accreditation Board (ANAB) in line with the ISO/IEC 17020 evaluation for requirements, together with:

  • Practical security (ISO 26262)
  • SOTIF (ISO 21448)
  • Cybersecurity (ISO 21434)
  • UN-R rules, together with UN-R 79, UN-R 13-H, UN-R 152, UN-R 155, UN-R 157 and UN-R 171
  • AI practical security (ISO PAS 8800 and ISO/IEC TR 5469)

“The launch of this new lab will assist companions within the international automotive ecosystem create secure, dependable autonomous driving know-how,” mentioned Ali Kani, vp of automotive at NVIDIA. “With accreditation by ANAB, the lab will perform an inspection plan that mixes practical security, cybersecurity and AI — bolstering adherence to the business’s security requirements.”

“ANAB is proud to be the accreditation physique for the NVIDIA DRIVE AI Methods Inspection Lab,” mentioned R. Douglas Leonard Jr., government director of ANAB. “NVIDIA’s complete analysis verifies the demonstration of competence and compliance with internationally acknowledged requirements, serving to be certain that DRIVE ecosystem companions meet the best benchmarks for practical security, cybersecurity and AI integration.”

The brand new lab builds on NVIDIA’s ongoing security compliance work with Mercedes-Benz and JLR. Inaugural contributors within the lab embody Continental and Sony SSS-America.

“We’re happy to take part within the newly launched NVIDIA Drive AI Methods Inspection Lab and to additional intensify the fruitful, ongoing collaboration between our two firms,” mentioned Nobert Hammerschmidt, head of elements enterprise at Continental.

“Self-driving automobiles have the aptitude to considerably improve security on roads,” mentioned Marius Evensen, head of automotive picture sensors at Sony SSS-America. “We stay up for working with NVIDIA’s DRIVE AI Methods Inspection Lab to assist us ship the best ranges of security to our prospects.”

“Compliance with practical security, SOTIF and cybersecurity is especially difficult for advanced techniques equivalent to AI-based autonomous automobiles,” mentioned Riccardo Mariani, head of business security at NVIDIA. “By the DRIVE AI Methods Inspection Lab, the correctness of the combination of our companions’ merchandise with DRIVE security and cybersecurity necessities might be inspected and verified.”

Now open to all NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform companions, the lab is anticipated to broaden to incorporate extra automotive and robotics merchandise and add a testing part.

Complementing Worldwide Automotive Security Requirements

The NVIDIA DRIVE AI Methods Inspection Lab enhances the missions of unbiased third-party certification our bodies, together with technical service organizations equivalent to TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rheinland and exida, in addition to automobile certification companies equivalent to VCA and KBA.

As we speak’s announcement dovetails with latest important security certifications and assessments of NVIDIA automotive merchandise:

TÜV SÜD granted the ISO 21434 Cybersecurity Course of certification to NVIDIA for its automotive system-on-a-chip, platform and software program engineering processes. Upon certification launch, the NVIDIA DriveOS 6.0 working system conforms with ISO 26262 Automotive Security Integrity Degree (ASIL) D requirements.

“Assembly cybersecurity course of necessities is of basic significance within the autonomous automobile period,” mentioned Martin Webhofer, CEO of TÜV SÜD Rail GmbH. “NVIDIA has efficiently established processes, actions and procedures that fulfill the stringent necessities of ISO 21434. Moreover, NVIDIA DriveOS 6.0 conforms to ISO 26262 ASIL D requirements, pending closing certification actions.”

TÜV Rheinland carried out an unbiased United Nations Financial Fee for Europe security evaluation of NVIDIA DRIVE AV associated to security necessities for advanced digital techniques.

“NVIDIA has demonstrated thorough, high-quality, safety-oriented processes and applied sciences within the context of the evaluation of the generic, non-OEM-specific components of the SAE degree 2 NVIDIA DRIVE system,” mentioned Dominik Strixner, international lead practical security automotive mobility at TÜV Rheinland.
