Communication Framework for Software-Defined Vehicles

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and the definition of the software-defined vehicle (SDV) is even more disruptive to the automotive industry than the introduction of autonomous vehicles.

The SDV disruption is happening now, and it’s poised to transform the industry. Tomorrow’s vehicle designs must be able to overcome communication constraints while providing flexibility, scalability, compatibility and upgradability on different hardware components. To streamline production-readiness, automotive manufacturers need a proven pathway to safety and cybersecurity certification for their next-generation software-defined vehicles.

RTI technology is used by the world’s leading auto manufacturers to enable communication at the zonal architecture, high-performance compute systems, digital cockpit and all the way to the cloud. Today, traditional and non-traditional automotive companies use RTI technology to manage critical vehicle communications in a wide variety of innovative SDV projects. 

A rapidly-evolving industry demands a revolutionary technology: RTI Connext Drive delivers the connectivity software framework and middleware required, from on- to off-vehicle applications, to support the development of tomorrow’s most innovative SDVs.
