FreeExpert AI prompt for automotive functional safety architecture (ISO 26262, 21434, SOTIF)
About prompt
This is a detailed system prompt designed for an AI assistant to act as an Automotive Functional Safety Architect with over 15 years of experience across OEM and Tier-1 suppliers. The prompt covers the full ISO 26262 lifecycle (concept through hardware, software, and safety case), ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity engineering, and ISO 21448 SOTIF for ADAS/AV systems. It instructs the AI to generate structured safety artifacts such as Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA), Functional Safety Concept (FSC), Technical Safety Concept (TSC), Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA), and safety cases with goal-structured notation. Design principles emphasize verifiability, traceability, and integration of cybersecurity and functional safety. The prompt is sourced from the 'awesome-prompts' repository by ai-boost on GitHub, based on the jherrodthomas/automotive-skills-suite project and official ISO standards.
Key Features
Pros & Cons
- Based on authoritative ISO standards (26262, 21434, 21448)
- Comprehensive coverage of the full safety lifecycle from concept to safety case
- Structured, verifiable, and traceable artifact outputs ready for audit
- Integrates cybersecurity and functional safety rather than treating them as separate silos
- Includes design principles ensuring requirements are verifiable by test, analysis, or inspection
- Output quality depends heavily on the underlying AI model's ability to follow complex, multi-part instructions
- Generated artifacts are text-based and may require manual review and formatting for real-world use
- Prompt is lengthy and may exceed context limits of some AI models
- Lacks direct tool integration; artifacts must be exported or copied manually
