SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING FUNCTIONAL SAFETY IN A SOFTWARE DEFINED VEHICLE

A software defined vehicle (SDV) is disclosed. The SDV includes control system that includes a set of controllers. A sensor system that includes a plurality of sets of sensors. A network system that includes a first network bus and a second network bus. One of the set of controllers is dynamically configurable to determine one of a plurality of modes of the SDV based on a monitoring of each of the controller system, the sensor system, and the network system. Each of the set of controllers is communicatively coupled with one or more of remaining of the set of controllers via one of the first network bus and the second network bus. Each of the set of controllers are dynamically configured to receive sensor data from at least one of set of sensors from the plurality of sets of sensors.
