Automotive systems are integrating artificial intelligence and complex software stacks aiming to interpret the real world, make decisions, and perform actions without human input. The occurrence of soft errors in such systems can lead to wrong decisions, which might ultimately incur in life losses. This paper focuses on the soft error susceptibility assessment of a real automotive application running on top of unmodified Linux kernels, and considering two commercially available processors, and three cross-compilers. Results collected from more than 29 thousand simulation hours show that the occurrence of faults in critical functions may cause 2.16× more failures on the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
