Explore how ETAS enables the next generation of connected mobility through our interactive on-site showcases

Join our experts for live demonstrations and deep dives into AI-driven diagnostics, the Eclipse S-CORE ecosystem, and the future of the software-defined vehicle.

Next-generation vehicle diagnostics

As software-defined vehicles (SDVs) grow in complexity, traditional diagnostic methods are no longer sufficient. This new era demands an intelligent and secure approach to ensure vehicle uptime and reliability.

Our modular diagnostics solution masters these challenges. By combining AI-powered analytics with Service-Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics (SOVD), we enable predictive maintenance and reduce downtime. Experience our advanced diagnostic tools for smarter mobility in a live demonstration.

ETAS vehicle software platform suite based on Eclipse S-CORE

As an initiator of the Eclipse S-CORE project, ETAS is collaborating with industry leaders like BMW and Mercedes to develop a common, open-source middleware platform. Our pre-integrated and tested components accelerate innovation and allow your teams to focus on creating unique features with guaranteed reliability.

Our live demonstration showcases the complete Sense-Think-Act cycle on automotive hardware. See how our platform uses ETAS middleware on a Qualcomm processor to interpret data and transfers it to an NXP system running our Eclipse S-CORE distribution, providing a secure foundation for future-ready mobility.
