# APPLICATION 02: AUTOMOTIVE ISO 26262
## Certifiable AI for Safety-Critical Vehicles
---
### The Problem
| **Current Automotive AI** | **Reality** |
|---|---|
| **Stochastic outputs** | Cannot be certified under ISO 26262 |
| **Cloud-dependent** | Latency, connectivity, data sovereignty issues |
| **Energy-hungry** | 500,000 µJ per query — drains EV batteries |
| **Black box** | No traceability, no verifiability |
| **No ASIL capability** | Cannot be used in safety-critical functions |
**Current AI cannot be deployed in safety-critical automotive systems. The certification gap is absolute.**
