Wind River and Elektrobit Collaborate on Autonomous Software-Defined Vehicles

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Wind River and Elektrobit have joined forces to revolutionize the automotive industry. Wind River brings its renowned VxWorks real-time operating system to the table, while Elektrobit offers its cutting-edge 2nd generation EB corbos AdaptiveCore software and EB corbos Studio tools. Together, they have developed a state-of-the-art software framework for autonomous driving domain controllers based on the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform.

Elektrobit's exceptional implementation of the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform, coupled with the ISO 26262 ASIL-D certified VxWorks operating environment, establishes a fully integrated foundation for enhancing automotive safety levels in ADAS Electronic Control Units (ECUs). This collaboration aims to drive innovation in the automotive market by prioritizing functional safety, security, and reliability.

"Elektrobit's proven software, in conjunction with the industry-leading VxWorks, has the potential to catalyze innovation in the automotive sector while ensuring top-notch functional safety, security, and reliability," remarked Woody Zou, General Manager, China, Wind River.

"The synergy between Elektrobit's AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform and the trusted VxWorks real-time operating system is instrumental in creating ECUs that are not only safe and secure but also flexible and high-performing. This collaboration will aid automakers in expediting the development of autonomous domain controllers and driving the mass production of new electric vehicles," added Demetrio Aiello, Head of Product Engineering, Elektrobit.

Wind River and Elektrobit, both pioneers in automotive software development, have a longstanding global partnership that has yielded numerous significant design wins. By combining their expertise, these two companies are poised to assist automakers and Tier 1 suppliers in swiftly and efficiently developing advanced features and functions. This collaboration is expected to reduce time to market for the next generation of intelligent vehicles.

The industry-leading global embedded real-time operating system, VxWorks, is not only highly regarded for its performance but is also the sole RTOS that supports Open Container Initiative (OCI) compliant containers. This feature makes VxWorks the go-to choice for automotive innovators like Elektrobit. By simplifying software deployment and management, VxWorks helps cut down on development and operating costs, enabling the development and deployment of intelligent edge software more efficiently without compromising on security and performance.
