Validas specializes in ensuring autonomous vehicle software meets the highest functional safety standards. Essential for the move to higher autonomy, Validas helps NVIDIA DRIVE developers targeting production to accelerate safety-critical projects with pre-qualified software components and tools.

Validas' core strength lies in a deep expertise in functional safety qualifications essential for the NVIDIA DRIVE ecosystem. Our partnerships are highly collaborative and focus on leveraging specialized skills to ensure that components of the NVIDIA DRIVE platform meet the stringent ISO 26262 safety standards, including up to ASIL D compliance.

This includes software component qualification, validating essential software building blocks against automotive safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262:2018, Part 8, Section 12). It also involves tool qualification, certifying application-specific tools, such as highly optimized compilers, for use in safety-critical development environments (e.g., ISO 26262:2018, Part 8, Section 11).
