Abstract: In various examples, confirming or evaluating availability requirements as part of a safety analysis for autonomous and semi-autonomous systems and applications is described herein. For instance, systems and methods are disclosed that may add availability requirements to one or more safety analysis techniques, such as failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), critical path analysis (CPA), and/or any other safety analysis technique. In some examples, an availability requirement may indicate whether a failure mode associated with a detected failure will impact an availability of an element and/or one or more measures that may be taken to avoid impacting the availability of the element. Systems and methods may then analyze a machine using these updated safety analysis techniques to detect failure modes in a system, causes of the failure modes, and effects of the failure modes, as well as determine whether these failure modes will impact the availability of the system.

Abstract: In various examples, incremental booting of functions for autonomous systems and applications is described herein. Systems and methods are disclosed that boot functions of a machine using different phases in order to more quickly provide at least a portion of the functions without compromising the safety of the machine. For example, during a first phase, resources associated with the machine may be allocated while the functions are initialized. Additionally, at least a first portion of the functions, such as functions that do not compromise the safety of the machine if errors occur, may be made available for use by one or more users of the machine. Next, during a second phase, at least a second portion of the functions, such as functions that may compromise the safety of the machine if errors occur, may be made available for use by the user(s) of the machine.
