The evolution of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) has introduced greater complexity to automotive software, resulting in increased development costs and time for manufacturers. This complexity is further heightened by the shift towards centralised electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures powered by high-performance computing units, which manage mixed-critical safety applications. AUTOSAR”s standardised approach helps address these challenges by providing a foundational framework and standardisation.
Tata Technologies” in-depth understanding of automotive engineering across both physical and digital layers enables them to develop safety-critical automotive software collaboratively with global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers. Through their partnership with AUTOSAR, Tata Technologies aims to contribute significantly to the development of automotive software development standards and practices.
The partnership aims to improve the software architecture of vehicle electronic control units (ECUs) with efficiency of automotive system software development and integration. Tata Technologies will work closely with other members of the partnership to develop and implement open standards that reduce costs and improve the overall quality of vehicles. This partnership, will help to collaborate in the development of new standards and software architecture for future vehicle systems. The company”s deep automotive domain knowledge and understanding of product engineering enable it to develop safety-critical automotive software with global suppliers.
