  "account": "Hyundai Motor and Kia received international certification for their in-house chip development process on Thursday, according to a company press release. The automotive manufacturers showcased the process at their Pangyo Tech One office complex in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, a tech hub located south of Seoul. TUV Rheinland, a German testing and certification company, awarded the certification, validating that the chip development process and functional safety management system meet international standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).\n\nFunctional safety pertains to the design of electronic systems to ensure vehicle safety even in the event of component failure. Since 2025, Hyundai and Kia have implemented their own standard process for developing automotive system-on-chip products, which are semiconductors that integrate multiple functions onto a single chip. The TUV Rheinland certification team thoroughly examined the companies' entire development framework, encompassing process definitions, team roles and responsibilities, standard deliverables, templates, guidelines, and more.",
