“…The route that Antilock Brake Systems (ABS) took in order to become a widely accepted vehicle technology has been a long one, which required a process of careful social-technical planning by Bosch, in order to overcome the negative publicity that surrounded ABS as a technology and to make Bosch ABS the dominant antilock technology [11]. In order to achieve this, Bosch engineers found that not only did they have to "sell" carefully the performance achieved by the product, but also they had to "sell" the setting of the standards on which that performance was measured.…”

In the automotive domain the standard ISO 26262 places significant emphasis on the assignment of Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASILs). In particular much of Part 3 of the standard is dedicated to the process that determines the three factors that contribute to the final assigned ASIL value: exposure, severity and controllability. In this paper we examine some of the issues that the authors have encountered during the development of an in-wheel electric motor and will argue that the perceived emphasis on ASIL ratings, in the context of developing a safe system, is misplaced and potentially counterproductive.
