As software-defined vehicles (SDVs) reshape the automotive landscape, regulatory expectations around functional safety, cybersecurity, and AI governance are intensifying. Standards such as ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, and UNECE R155/R156 are raising the bar, but many organizations still struggle to translate these requirements into practices that hold up across complex product lifecycles and global supply chains.

This panel brings together industry leaders in automotive governance, cybersecurity, and embedded systems to explore how organizations can move beyond “compliance theater” toward operational, measurable, and resilient governance under real-world conditions.

Drawing on firsthand experience across OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, panelists will share how governance frameworks can be embedded into engineering workflows, supported by continuous audit mechanisms, and aligned with evolving regulatory demands.

In collaboration with RunSafe, the discussion will also examine how software-level protections can serve as a critical enforcement layer for governance, ensuring that risk management strategies are not only defined at the policy level but also technically realized within embedded systems and vehicle platforms.

What you’ll learn:

• How to translate ISO and UNECE requirements into scalable engineering practices
• How to embed governance across the SDV lifecycle – from design through OTA updates
• How to leverage AI for continuous compliance, traceability, and audit readiness
• How to align culture and incentives across OEM and supplier ecosystems
• How to strengthen embedded software resilience to reduce exploitability in safety-critical environments
