Safety and open source, oh my?

" summary

Overview of considerations for developing safety-critical open-source middleware, using Eclipse iceoryx (a zero-copy IPC middleware) and Apex.AI’s work on certifying ROS 2 to ISO 26262 as concrete examples. Covers automotive constraints (old compilers/toolchains, resource-limited hardware), modifications to the typical automotive development workflow for iceoryx, key architectural design decisions, examples contrasting safe vs. unsafe C++ code, and progress toward iceoryx certification.
