# APPLICATION 02: AUTOMOTIVE ISO 26262## Certifiable AI for Safety-Critical Vehicles---### The Problem| **Current Automotive AI** | **Reality** ||---|---|| **Stochastic outputs** | Cannot be certified under ISO 26262 || **Cloud-dependent** | Latency, connectivity, data sovereignty issues || **Energy-hungry** | 500,000 µJ per query — drains EV batteries || **Black box** | No traceability, no verifiability || **No ASIL capability** | Cannot be used in safety-critical functions |**Current AI cannot be deployed in safety-critical automotive systems. The certification gap is absolute.**
