Abstract
Disclosed herein are mechanisms and methods for maintaining and/or achieving a target Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) level for a vehicle. One or more shutters of one or more corresponding image sensors of the vehicle may be repeatedly closed at a predetermined rate. While the shutters are closed, output values of each image sensor may be measured. A soft error rate may be determined for the vehicle based on the measurement of the output values, and one or more system countermeasures sufficient to maintain and/or achieve a target ASIL level based at least on the soft error rate may be implemented.
