Safety and ADAS

The path to zero accidents and higher levels of vehicle autonomy is built on a foundation of absolute trust. This requires electronic systems that provide precise data and dependable control, without fail, under all conditions.

Allegro provides this foundation with a comprehensive portfolio of ASIL-compliant sensing and power ICs, all developed through our certified ISO 26262 process. Our solutions are at the heart of the most critical ADAS functions, including fail-operational steering and braking, attentive driver monitoring, and high-reliability environmental sensing for detection and ranging. Our purpose is to deliver the proven, automotive-first technology that enables every level of ADAS, from driver assistance to fully autonomous driving, making the future of mobility safer for everyone.
