Iso26262 is the safety standard (a slimmed down version of industrial standard by the way). misra are the coding rules recommended to apply for these standard. Autosar is an OS definition to make modular SW

Autosar is a horrible horrible standard that makes SW worse. I am of the oppinion that AUTOSAR based systems are _worse_ and less safe because of it.

The API itself is decent but the configuration and the ecosystem is a nightmare.

Working on a ECU that at some point during the development had to switch to Autosar, I cannot agree more on this.

There are a number of things under the AUTOSAR umbrella, one of which is a set of C++ coding guidelines, akin to MISRA. This is what the other poster is referring to. Back when I worked at Tesla, we enforced a subset of MISRA rules, and at my current company we enforce a subset of AUTOSAR rules, but use none of the AUTOSAR “platform”.
