Interoperability Gaps: Mismatched connectors and protocols between cameras, sensors, and processors.
Signal Degradation: EMI, crosstalk, and impedance mismatches in high-speed systems.
Safety Risks: Overheating, electrical faults, and mechanical failures.
ISO/IEC standards resolve these issues by harmonizing performance benchmarks, materials, and testing methodologies.
