Autonomous Vehicles

Accelerate the Transition to Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles require highly complex and dynamic systems that must meet rigorous safety, security, interoperability and rapid data processing requirements. These systems must balance the connectivity requirements of dozens of subsystems to ensure that information moves seamlessly throughout the vehicle.

With no need for servers and brokers, Connext Drive easily scales from simple applications to multiple teams working in a distributed environment. With a flexible, extensible data model, Connext Drive supports the evolution of applications across domains and over time. This capability is essential for enabling cooperation between OEMs, Tier-1s, system integrators and other suppliers.

And the communication capabilities don’t end at the chassis: Connext Drive can also enable off-vehicle communication over Wide-Area Networks (WANs). In addition, Connext Drive is able to provide direct connectivity with ROS 2, AUTOSAR Classic and AUTOSAR Adaptive.

Autonomous Driving Vehicle

Connext Drive provides a pathway to meet certification requirements for ISO 26262 ASIL D, the functional automotive safety standard. Its run-time libraries provide developers with high-level publish/subscribe communication APIs that simplify application logic and allow for the continuous evolution of the system. It also eliminates the need for custom networking code and accompanying certification artifacts, avoiding years of effort and millions of dollars in cost.
