Subaru Obtains ISO 26262 Certification
in SoC Development for Next-Generation EyeSight

-ASIL-C Certification for Semiconductor Soft IP-

Tokyo, November 21, 2025 – Subaru Corporation has obtained ISO 26262 certification, the international standard for automotive functional safety*1, in the development of the SoC*2 for its next-generation EyeSight. The certification, granted by the third-party certification body SGS-TÜV Saar GmbH*3, applies to the semiconductor Soft IP*4, which has been certified to ASIL-C *5. This is the first case*6 in Japan of an automaker obtaining ASIL certification under ISO 26262 in the semiconductor field.

For its next-generation EyeSight system, Subaru has adopted AMD’s Versal™ AI Edge Series Gen 2 adaptive SoC and is designing circuits to customize the SoC in order to achieve cutting-edge AI inference performance and ultra-low latency processing at low cost. The ASIC*7 portion of this SoC incorporates　Subaru’s proprietary in-house circuitry specialized for stereo camera recognition and AI inference processing, and the soft IP in these areas has now obtained ASIL-C certification under ISO 26262.

Under its all-around safety philosophy*8, Subaru will continue to enhance EyeSight and other advanced technologies by further deepening collaboration with partners and advancing its own in-house development in intelligent domains such as semiconductors and software, with the aim of achieving zero fatal traffic accidents in 2030 *9.

*1: The concept of designing and operating systems and equipment that ensure safety even in the event of a failure.
*2: An abbreviation for ‘System on a Chip.’ It refers to a semiconductor chip that integrates all the functions required for operating a device or system into a single chip.
*3: A joint venture established by SGS, an inspection and certification company headquartered in Switzerland, and TÜV Saar, the German technical inspection association.
*4: Design information used to define semiconductor functions.
*5: ASIL is an abbreviation for “Automotive Safety Integrity Level.” It refers to the safety level defined in the automotive functional safety standard ISO 26262, which evaluates the risk level caused by system failures and classifies it into four levels: A, B, C, and D.
*6: Based on results certified by SGS Japan Inc. as of November 21, 2025.
*7: An abbreviation for ‘Application Specific Integrated Circuit.’ It refers to a custom semiconductor chip designed for a specific function or purpose.
*8: Subaru’s safety philosophy that pursues vehicle safety performance from all perspectives, aiming to deliver the world’s highest standard of safety and peace of mind to everyone who rides in our vehicles. This philosophy is built on five pillars of safety: Primary Safety, Active Safety, Preventive Safety, Passive Safety, and Connected Safety.
*9: Zero fatal traffic accidents among occupants of Subaru vehicles and people involved in collisions with Subaru vehicles, including pedestrians and cyclists
