-The Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) Functional Safety Expert Group is an organizational unit of AGL with a focus on the various hardware, software and processes required for functional safety in a car. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_Safety|Functional Safety]] is defined largely, but not entirely, by ISO 26262

-An automotive electronics system often requires [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_Safety|Functional Safety]] infrastructure integrated into the various electronic components in a vehicle. If you're going to have Linux run safety-critical components, you'll need a way to achieve Functional Safety.
+An automotive electronics system often requires Functional Safety infrastructure integrated into the various electronic components in a vehicle, specifically for safety critical parts of the system.
+Nowadays, many of the automotive SoC vendors are designing SoCs (System-on-Chip) by integrating into hardware the ability to detect errors and faults. International standards such as ISO 26262 or
