Together with some of our partners, we showcase a broad spectrum, ranging from AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive through the integration of open-source elements with S-CORE, to integrated tools and AI support enabling the development of embedded systems for autonomous driving technologies.

Efficiency gains and collaboration in the development of software-defined vehicles
We highlight several approaches for developing SDVs more efficiently, collaboratively, and securely. For example, we have further advanced our AI toolchain for embedded systems, and present solutions for the application of vehicle computers. The development of electric drives is, of course, also an essential part of this endeavor.

Holistic Lifecycle Diagnostics and Cybersecurity
We present a cloud-based, modular service platform for vehicles of current and future architectures (SOVD), designed to meet the needs of both OEMs and the aftermarket.
The unique combination of remote diagnostics and continuous security monitoring increases efficiency, leverages cross-domain synergies, and enables proactive security event handling as well as rapid diagnostics to resolve malfunctions. Cybersecurity can no longer be achieved with individual tools alone. Instead, security is only ensured through the integration of various security tools into the security environment, which must be continuously updated and maintained throughout the entire lifecycle. We demonstrate the possible integration of diverse tools into different environments.
