From your CES 2026 briefings, what's one practical check you use to validate an automotive zonal controller SoC's ISO 26262 readiness beyond slideware? Which single artifact or evidence do you ask for that most quickly builds confidence, and why?

To validate an automotive zonal controller SoC's ISO 26262 readiness, request the Functional Safety Concept (FSC) document. This important artifact outlines the design's adherence to safety requirements and hazard mitigation strategies. It details safety goals, functional safety analysis, and technical requirements based on identified risks, allowing assessment of the manufacturer's proactive hazard identification and compliance with ISO 26262 standards.
