When certifying safety-critical automotive software at the highest Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL-D), should ISO 26262 and its national adoptions explicitly recognize memory-safe system programming languages such as Rust, provided the toolchain is qualified? Proponents argue that mandatory recognition would give OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers a compliant, low-risk path to eliminate entire classes of memory-safety defects that still plague C/C++ firmware in brake control, steering, and powertrain ECUs. Opponents warn the standard is deliberately technology-neutral and that explicit endorsement risks regulatory capture and a false sense of safety without rigorous tool qualification and systematic-fault evidence.
