Functional Safety – Minimal Risk Manoeuvre

When all safety requirements have been verified and successfully implemented there is one final step: it needs to be checked whether the implemented safety concept with all its safety mechanisms is appropriate and keeps the vehicle safe in the event of a fault. Independent of the automation level it must also be checked whether the safety concept protects people from harm in the event of a failure.

Main Question:

Is the vehicle behaviour safe when transitioning to a safe state (as evaluated through simulation or testing)?
