Summary
MathWorks expanded its ISO 26262 functional safety guidance to cover AI-assisted model development and testing workflows. The guidance is certified by TÜV SÜD and covers MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow and System Composer, delivered via the IEC Certification Kit, focusing on bringing agentic AI workflo…
Key points
- For engineering teams in automotive and functional safety, this is one of the few concrete paths to formally incorporate AI agents into certifiable processes, rather than experimental trials.
- AI-assisted development is for the first time incorporated into third-party-certified functional safety guidance, giving agents a basis for use in regulated engineering processes.
- Automotive and industrial teams can adopt agent-assisted modeling and testing within a compliance framework while retaining engineers' final responsibility; before adoption, they must still confirm compatibility of their toolchain and MCP clients.
