Functional safety

Functional safety is all about making things safe to use. And it's not just any kind of safe, it's making sure that something won't hurt you or cause any harm even if something goes wrong while you're using it.

Let's say you have a toy that makes beeping noises when you press a button. Now, what if the toy starts beeping really loudly or doesn't stop when you've pressed the button? Would you still want to use it? Probably not, right?

So, what if the toy makers made sure that even if something goes wrong with the toy, it won't hurt you in any way? That's where functional safety comes in. Functional safety is about adding extra features and tests to make sure that even if something goes wrong with the toy or any other product, it won't hurt you or cause any harm.

Think of it like a seatbelt in a car. The car manufacturers make sure that the seatbelt will keep you safe in case of an accident. The seatbelt is an example of functional safety in action. It's there to protect you even if something goes wrong.

Overall, functional safety is all about making sure that you can use something without worrying about any possible dangers. It's like having a superpower that protects you from harm even when things don't go according to plan.
