Russia Certifies an Autopilot System: The Developer of the “ATOM” Car Receives the International ASIL D Safety Certificate.
The certificate confirms that JSC “Kama” is capable of developing autonomous systems — from driver-assistance features to fully self-driving vehicles
A Breakthrough for Russian Autonomous Tech
Kama JSC, the developer behind the ATOM electric vehicle, has become the first Russian automaker to receive ISO 26262 ASIL D certification for its autopilot system. The achievement confirms the company’s capability to design advanced autonomous systems—from driver‑assist features to fully self‑driving vehicles.
The ASIL D certificate reflects exceptional product quality and verifies that strict safety controls, risk assessment procedures, and functional evaluations were rigorously followed throughout development. For users and transportation operators, this translates into significantly enhanced reliability and protection.
Ready for Mass‑Produced Self‑Driving Cars
Kama JSC has already completed the required testing and prepared a platform for the production of a serial unmanned vehicle. Once all procedures are finalized, the autopilot system will be integrated into software and component supply chains for automakers.
What makes this milestone crucial is that Kama’s newly certified technologies can also be implemented in intelligent traffic systems and broader smart‑city infrastructure.
Strengthening Russia’s Automotive Independence
Achieving ASIL D certification matters not only for the company itself but for Russia’s automotive and tech industries as a whole. A domestically developed, fully certified autopilot reduces reliance on foreign suppliers and expands opportunities for the national automotive sector.
It also opens the door to large‑scale adoption of autonomous systems in mass production.
In the near future, cars will become safer, smarter, and more accessible—powered in no small part by Russian engineering.
