ISO 8800 Is Coming to Your Next Platform Program — Are You Ready?

Sandeep Kumar Bomthapalli

March 30, 2026

For the past decade, ISO 26262 has been the governing framework for functional safety in road vehicles. It established how automotive engineers think about hazard analysis, safety goals, ASIL decomposition, and the lifecycle of safety-critical systems. It is now deeply embedded in how semiconductor IP vendors, Tier 1 suppliers, and OEMs design and certify their products.

The Role of Motor Control in Physical AI

Rich Nass

March 16, 2026

Physical AI is a term that’s in vogue right now. It refers to the application of AI to systems that directly interact with and influence the physical world. Unlike Cloud-based AI models that analyze data and produce insights, physical AI closes the loop between perception, decision-making, and actuation. It senses its environment, processes that data locally or at the Edge, and then potentially drives such equipment as motors, valves, pumps, or actuators. In short, it turns algorithms into action.
