LG Electronics has secured the ISO 26262 ASIL D certification from TÜV Rheinland for its CCU 2.0 automotive central communication unit. This is the first time this certification has been awarded for an automotive central gateway, confirming the highest level of functional safety standards.
The CCU 2.0 system acts as a central communication hub for vehicles, managing data exchange between internal ECUs and external networks. The module is already confirmed for use in the Genesis GV90 model, marking a significant step for LG in the automotive supply chain.
The unit handles data routing via CAN and Ethernet, ensuring accurate transmission of safety-critical messages and detecting potential routing failures. It also integrates specific functional safety measures for OTA software updates, preventing unauthorized changes and maintaining vehicle control during rollback processes.
Beyond core routing, the system supports advanced features including vehicle-to-everything connectivity, on-demand functions, system diagnostics, and intrusion monitoring. It also incorporates certificate-based authentication to enhance overall vehicle security architecture.
LG views this certification as a milestone in its transition toward the AI-defined vehicle era. The company intends to leverage this achievement to strengthen partnerships with automotive manufacturers and expand its portfolio of next-generation automotive solutions.
