Introduction
Vision-based safety systems are poised for explosive
growth in next-generation automobiles. Multiple highdefinition displays are appearing in the center console,
rear seatbacks, and even the instrument cluster for
both information and entertainment (infotainment)
purposes. Cameras are also increasingly deployed to
increase safety and for driver assist applications, such as
improved visibility for backup and parking. Recently,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) proposed new vehicle safety regulations
calling for standard rear-mounted video cameras and
displays in all vehicles. Aimed at reducing the hundreds
of fatalities and thousands of injuries that occur each
year as a result of back-over accidents, the NHTSA
said 10 percent of new vehicles must comply by
September 2012, 40 percent by September 2013, and
100 percent by September 2014. While unquestionably
increasing safety and adding to the driving experience,

TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are

designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
