The modern vehicle is a high-performance computing platform that must also be safe at highway speeds. The industry shift toward Software-Defined Vehicles means we are no longer building a car with a hundred isolated computers - we are building a centralized architecture. Transitioning to a zonal model makes network timing and safety much harder to manage. We act as your architectural partners to build the deterministic backbone required for these modern platforms, making sure the system remains stable as you integrate new levels of connectivity and automation.
Calculating timing for thousands of Ethernet streams by hand is no longer possible. If a safety signal from a sensor arrives late because it was stuck behind infotainment data, the system fails. We automate your network configuration to provide mathematical proof that safety-critical signals always arrive at their destination on time, regardless of other network activity.
You likely want to use memory-safe languages like Rust for new features, but you still have years of legacy C++ code. Mixing them often creates areas of uncertainty where memory errors can hide. We build formal verification wrappers that isolate the older code. This protects your new safety-critical core without needing you to rewrite your entire legacy library.
Running a resource-intensive operating system like Linux alongside a real-time OS on a single chip often causes unpredictable delays. In a vehicle, these delays are a safety hazard. We use hardware-level partitioning to give your critical tasks their own dedicated CPU caches. This allows them to bypass software overhead entirely so they never miss a safety deadline.
As you integrate diverse sensor arrays - including Radar, cameras, and LiDAR - the amount of data moving through the vehicle becomes massive. Most systems slow down because they spend too much time moving data from one memory location to another. We optimize the architecture for zero-copy data flow. This significantly cuts the time between a sensor detecting an object and the vehicle taking action.
Cybersecurity is now a need for vehicle type approval under ISO 21434. Proving that every piece of code in your supply chain is secure is a massive hurdle. We implement a rigorous Software Bill of Materials and automated scanning. This makes sure your architecture is ready for an audit from the first day of development, not a week before production.
In autonomous features, a simple failure cannot lead to a system shutdown. We architect fail-operational systems that use lock-step processing and redundant data paths. This makes sure that if one zone loses power or a processor fails, the core safety functions remain active. This allows the vehicle to move itself to a safe state without losing control.
