It takes advanced solutions and cutting-edge technologies to make the transition to software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The AUTOSAR standard defines a robust technology platform that serves to satisfy both current and future demands. This is where we step in to offer you comprehensive software consulting, engineering, and training across the entire spectrum of AUTOSAR-based systems.
Essential technologies such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are evolving with ever more sensors and ever higher safety and security standards. Emerging tech such as highly automated driving (HAD), cloud connectivity, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication is also advancing rapidly. Vehicles need more sophisticated and powerful architectures to accommodate both evolutionary and revolutionary advances. The move to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) equipped with advanced central computers and zonal controllers is sure to stall without effective integration strategies and over-the-air (OTA) updating.
The implications for OEMs and suppliers are clear: They will have to contend with increasingly complex in-vehicle software, larger development teams, shorter development cycles, and evolving functional safety and security standards. The software-defined vehicle demands nothing less than a fundamental reimagining of how hardware and software interact within the car.
Software engineers tasked with building SDVs need strategies and concepts to tackle challenges across the board and keep the growing complexity under control. They have to have a toolbox full of sophisticated tech such as zone architectures, fast Ethernet communication, and solutions such as hypervisors to optimize resource distribution. And they cannot do without state-of-the-art software integration methods as well as ASPICE- and safety standards-compliant development processes. Beyond that, basic software systems must efficiently utilize available resources, regardless of the task at hand, whether it involves running legacy components or processing data from the latest sensors and actuators.
Both AUTOSAR Classic and AUTOSAR Adaptive provide robust, proven basic software systems for vehicle functions at all levels. AUTOSAR Classic focuses on hardware proximity, all-round safety, and reliable real-time performance. AUTOSAR Adaptive is designed for computationally intensive multiprocessor environments, with updateability and high communication bandwidth being priorities. Each platform is versatile, adapting flexibly to suit the project’s specific requirements and readily accommodating modifications as the AUTOSAR consortium continues to pursue the development of both.
We take advantage of cutting-edge methods to integrate software, analyze and optimize performance, deploy new bus systems such as CAN XL, and make the most of the latest microcontroller technologies. Count on us to provide the following services to you:
