Perseus achieved the highest international functional safety standard, ISO 26262 ASIL-D, for both CPU and MCU environments. [^1]

Perseus, a vehicle system software developer, successfully raised 1.6 billion won in Series B funding. [^2]

The Zoox safety case quantifies safety within the target Operational Design Domain (ODD) with a goal to be significantly safer than a human driver. [^3]

Zoox designs and manufactures its robotaxis from the ground up, developing its own driving software and operating its own fleet to enable vertical integration for safety optimization. [^4]

Perseus is currently preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) after selecting a lead underwriter. [^5]

Perseus is the only domestic company to receive ASIL-D certification for vehicle hypervisors in both CPU and MCU environments. [^6]

The primary metric of the safety case is the estimated rate of potential Collision, Injury, and Fatality events (CIF), measured in miles per event. [^7]

Zoox sets its safety target to be significantly safer than the human benchmark, which is determined by comparing against published human driving collision data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Federal Highway Administration. [^8]
