CES has become the largest automotive technology event showcasing the future of connected and autonomous vehicles. CES 2020 will feature a variety of breakthrough technologies and an inside peek into Automotive’s technology revolution. Now more than ever, technical solutions for building the vehicles of tomorrow are commanding center stage.
But to win the race to market, autonomous vehicle developers need to incorporate four critical elements: unlimited and immediate data connectivity, foolproof expandability, ironclad security and safety-by-design. How do we get there?
Simple: the answer is high-level, continuous connectivity. RTI is the global leader in connectivity software. RTI Connext Drive software gives autonomous vehicle developers a real competitive advantage in the market and is already proven in over 200 autonomous vehicle programs. Built on the open Data Distribution Service™ (DDS) standard, RTI Connext Drive supercharges data connectivity, while reducing in-vehicle wiring and delivering standards-enforced reliability, redundancy and security.
But don’t take our word for it: Visit RTI at booth #713 in the Westgate Convention Center to see a live demonstration of Connext Drive– seamlessly integrating technologies from NVIDIA, Infineon, Elektrobit, UnrealEngine (CARLA) and MathWorks – in a drivable vehicle simulation. The demo features automotive-grade hardware running AUTOSAR Classic applications and a high-performance NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Xavier kit using neural networks to assist and automate driving.
RTI Connext Drive gives you the flexibility to take control of your systems and minimize risk from prototype through production. Better still, it is the only technology that is able to bridge the full spectrum of automotive ecosystems, including AUTOSAR Classic, AUTOSAR Adaptive and ROS2.
So, start your engines…and come see us at CES in Las Vegas from January 7 – 10, 2020!

This Automotive Industry Panel brings together top experts from autonomy software companies, autonomy tech startups and traditional automakers. We will demystify the challenges of autonomous vehicle development - all the way from prototype to production. Regardless of whether this is your first road race or just your latest, you’ll gain new insights about the latest approaches and technologies that are driving development.
Which technologies are most durable for building the vehicles of tomorrow? How do you stop supply chain disruption? Should you standardize on DDS, ROS 2 or AUTOSAR? What does the future hold for the automotive market? All these questions and more will be answered by our panel at CES 2020. And when you’re here with us, buckle up: we’re going to be moving pretty fast.
As we push towards the future with electrification and autonomous driver assist systems, the complexity of the vehicle network has grown exponentially, driving the requirement for advanced vehicle networks using DDS based on a hard real time platform along with the ability to test and develop these interfaces in Real Time. This talk addresses the benefits of leveraging RedHawk Real-Time Linux, and the Simulation Work Bench X-in the loop platform along with RTI Connext Drive to create the modern high fidelity vehicle network.
Use of modeling, simulation, and automatic production code generation with MATLAB and Simulink is well-established in automotive ECU applications. Recently these techniques, known collectively as Model-Based Design, are accelerating autonomous system development with leading OEMs and Tier1s worldwide. This talk introduces Model-Based Design and highlights its use from classic controls to autonomous systems, including a recent integration with RTI for DDS connectivity. Use of MATLAB and Simulink for AUTOSAR (Classic and Adaptive) and ISO 26262 (ASIL A-D) is also described.
Traditional IT networks are hard-wired to move data – well defined and easy to protect. Intelligent connected networks may also support the movement of data, yet less defined and often challenging to secure. They may also incorporate OT networks, where concerns extend beyond the integrity and loss of data, to include the ability of critical infrastructure to function, the potential loss of lives, and damage to both physical infrastructure and our environment. In this session, Tim McAllister, Director of Business Development at Mocana, discusses how protecting intelligent connected networks includes an approach to cyber protection that reflects the unique characteristics of these new networks, already pre-integrated to work with RTI's Connext DDS Secure.
The complexity of automotive software environments continues to rapidly increase due to the need of incorporating support for newer technologies and capabilities, such as IoT connectivity, artificial intelligence and autonomous driving systems. The Lynx MOSA.ic™ Modular Framework is uniquely positioned to provide the foundational technology required for safely and securely integrating these compute intensive applications on modern multi-core CPUs and GPUs alongside traditional bare-metal safety-critical applications, typically run on microcontrollers. The modular software architectural approach of Lynx MOSA.ic™ and the LynxSecure® separation kernel hypervisor allows for the rapid integration of software technologies from companies such as RTI and ETAS in a virtualization-based solution while still meeting the high assurance, safety-critical needs of the automotive industry.
Autonomous driving requires a new approach to safety that impacts vehicle E/E architecture, systems and development flow. In this session, we will review key requirements to achieve higher levels of functional safety with a focus on the “compute” part of the signal chain. Essential properties of critical system components will also be discussed.

Traditional Over the Air updates are known for delivering updates to only the system software. This presentation will introduce a secure methodology to now also update the functionality of the system hardware controllers. Using Xilinx Adaptable technology in conjunction with a secure cloud-based system from Bosch Software Innovations, hardware updates can be instantaneously provided via RTI Connext Drive to all nodes in today’s connected vehicle. Connext Drive provides the connectivity framework, proven in operation and working closely with industry-standard organizations, such as AUTOSAR and ROS, to develop automotive frameworks and platforms that leverage the DDS Standard. This presentation will conclude with an implementation of this OTA Silicon methodology.
OEMs, upper tier suppliers and technology providers in the automotive industry strive to satisfy the overarching “CASE” or “ACES” trends in some form or fashion. These acronyms boil down to vehicle CONNECTIVITY (and the data opportunities therin), AUTOMATION, the proliferation of the SHARED economy and vehicle ELECTRIFICATION. This is the noise of an industry. The signal: Software is truly driving the transition to vehicle architectures providing the ability to provide for the above-mentioned industry trends. Join Houffaneh as he identifies these trends, the opportunities they present, the pitfalls that are associated and how we as an industry can get there.
In order for OEMs to successfully get to production with autonomous cars, there are several key hurdles they must face. It’s simply not a matter of whether a particular technology works, but also determining which technology is best for the consumer and for the business, and that it performs properly time and time again. As more intelligence and functionality is demanded from automobiles and complexity increases, it will be important to evaluate new architectures and techniques, such as like workload consolidation, to support the growing need for more compute power while ensuring the highest levels of reliability and determinism.
In this session, Wind River will share insights about:
Vehicle networks have dramatically changed in recent years to adapt to driver and passenger demands for autonomous and connected vehicles. This presentation will discuss how AUTOSAR is increasingly being used to allow in-vehicle ECUs to be designed to a common standard, communicating with each other, and working with popular network topologies such as CAN, CAN-FD, FlexRay, and Ethernet. Mentor Graphics has recently worked with RTI to integrate DDS into its AUTOSAR solution, allowing a data-driven client-server architecture to be implemented in vehicle designs of with heterogeneous networks. The presentation will be of interest to designers of vehicle architectures for Autonomous, Electric, and connected cars.
