LG earns first ASIL D product certification for gateway
By Google News Motors ·
LG is using independent safety certification to prove to automakers it can supply the critical hardware at the core of new platforms
LG Electronics has gained its first automotive safety integrity level (ASIL) D product certification under ISO 26262, for the central gateway it built for the Genesis GV90. Certifier TÜV Rheinland had never before awarded the top grade to a central gateway product.
The strictest of four grades, ASIL D follows LG’s process certification in 2017 and an ASIL B rating for a driver assistance camera in 2021. Clearing it on a finished product gives automakers independent evidence that LG can deliver safety-critical hardware, which the company expects to help it win platform contracts.
The gateway links the GV90’s electronic control units and routes data over controller area network and Ethernet connections, reporting faults to other modules. It also protects over-the-air updates and keeps start-up under control during updates and rollbacks. Gateways matter more as the industry moves towards AI-defined vehicles (AIDVs), and LG plans to reuse the know-how in domain controllers.
In a statement, Lee Sang-yong, Head of the VS R&D Laboratory at LG Vehicle Solution Company, said: “Earning our first ASIL D product certification is a significant milestone for LG. It reflects our progress from establishing certified functional safety processes to implementing and verifying the highest-level safety requirements in an automotive product.
We will build on this accomplishment to strengthen automakers’ confidence in LG and advance next-generation solutions for the AIDV era.”
