| The paradigm of separate physical subsystems has the advantage of V&V simplification and safety, but the large disadvantage of component skew and material cost. Thus, an emerging trend has been to build underlying computational fabrics with networking and virtually (through software) separate functionality. From a V&V perspective, this means that the virtual backbone which maintains this separation (ex: RTOS) must be verified to a very high standard. Infotainment systems are an example of Electronics Adjacent integration. Generally, there is an independent IT infrastructure working with the safety critical infrastructure, and from a V&V perspective, they can be validated separately. However, the presence of infotainment systems enables very powerful communication technologies (5G, Bluetooth, etc.) where the cyber-physical system can be impacted by external third parties. From a safety perspective, the simplest method for maintaining safety would be to physically separate these systems. However, this is not typically done because a connection is required to provide “over-the-air” updates to the device. Thus, the V&V capability must again verify the virtual safeguards against malicious intent are robust. | The paradigm of separate physical subsystems has the advantage of V&V simplification and safety, but the large disadvantage of component skew and material cost.

| Finally, the last level of integration is in the context of autonomy. In autonomy, the processes of sensing, perception, location services, path planning envelope the traditional mechanical functionality. | Finally, the last level of integration is in the context of autonomy.

| Moving beyond software, AI has built a “learning” paradigm. In this paradigm, there is a period of training where the AI machine “learns” from data to build its own rules, and in this case, learning is defined on top of traditional optimization algorithms which try to minimize some notion of error. This effectively is data driven software development as shown in figure below. | Moving beyond software, AI has built a “learning” paradigm.

| However, as Table 2 above shows, there are profound differences between AI software and conventional software. The introduction of AI generated software introduces significant issues to the V&V task as shown in table 2 below. | However,there are profound differences between AI software and conventional software.
