IEC 61508 vs ISO 26262: What Automotive Engineers Need to Know

Can an element assessed at IEC 61508 SIL 3 support an ISO 26262 ASIL D safety goal? Often yes, but the label proves nothing on its own: a SIL belongs to a safety function, not to a part. Why the two risk models look alike and still cannot be converted, and what an integrity level is attached to.
