Aiming to augment its efforts in leading the software technology journey with global mobility leaders toward an autonomous future, KPIT Technologies has joined the Autonomous Vehicle Computing Consortium (AVCC).
AVCC is a global collaboration of automotive and technology industry leaders focused on automated and assisted driving compute solutions. The way autonomous driving solutions are developed is changing rapidly both from the hardware and software perspectives. Likewise, the role of semiconductors, middleware, operating systems, and importantly embedded software is changing. In this scenario, AVCC helps bring organisations deeply invested in this space to discuss and find solutions for the future.
KPIT, the leading independent software development and integration partner, joins leading OEMs, Tier 1s, and semiconductor companies, such as GM, Toyota, Subaru, Veoneer, ARM, Bosch, NXP, Renesas as a member of the AVCC to collaborate and contribute to autonomous driving technology.
The company’s expertise and insights from Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)/ Autonomous Driving (AD) development for more than a decade and working on 50+ vehicle production programmes will help make key contributions to this consortium on software architectures, platforms, and components.
Anup Sable, CTO, KPIT Technologies, said, “We are an early entrant and have been investing in ADAS and AD software competencies for over a decade. As a result, several OEMs and Tier-1s count us as a strategic partner in the development of autonomous vehicles of the future. AVCC gives us a great forum to bring insights and share experiences specifically around software, middleware, and AUTOSAR.”
Giuseppe Rosso, AVCC Chairperson, said, “We value KPIT expertise in the ADAS/AD vehicle space, and the Consortium is looking forward for their important technical contributions to the working groups and to overall AVCC activities.”
