Yes, absolutely! We have checks for other coding standards such as the
CERT C++ Secure Coding standard, C++ Core Guidelines, High Integrity
C++, etc. Adding checks for AUTOSAR in its own module would be great!

Not to my knowledge. This would be the first step needed to take
before adding such checks, if only to make sure that we're okay to use
the name AUTOSAR, how we should reference or cite their documentation,
etc.
