ASIL is just a risk classification scheme from A to D, with D being the highest risk of initial hazard.

TUD SUD certified that Drive OS is ISO-26262 complaint and that it can be used for a safety-critical application up to the highest risk context of ASIL-D (Think activating brakes on a AEB system, or deploying airbags).
