Tata Technologies has announced its partnership with AUTOSAR, a worldwide development partnership of car manufacturers, suppliers, and other companies.
A press release from the company noted that the rapid advancement of software defined vehicles (SDVs) has amplified the complexity of automotive software in terms of functionality and architecture, leading to increased development costs and time for vehicle manufacturers. This growth is further compounded by the shift towards centralised electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures powered by high-performance computing units that handle mixed-critical safety applications.
Through this partnership, Tata Technologies aims to collaborate with AUTOSAR in developing new standards and software architecture for future vehicle systems and will promote and facilitate the adoption of AUTOSAR standards globally.
With more than 280 partners, including BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota Motor Corporation, Ford, GM, DaimlerChrysler, PSA, Toyota, Bosch, Siemens, Peugeot Citroën Automobiles S.A. and Continental AG, among others around the world, AUTOSAR aims to standardise the software architecture of vehicle electronic control units (ECUs) to improve the overall efficiency of automotive system software development and integration.
Warren Harris, Chief Executive Officer, Tata Technologies, stated that the partnership further strengthens the company’s commitment to the automotive industry and enables it to work more closely with the other members to develop and implement open standards that aim to improve the efficiency of the development process, reduce costs and increase the overall quality of the vehicles.
Thomas Rüping, Chairperson, AUTOSAR, said, “With their vast experience in the Automotive domain and expertise in both AUTOSAR Platforms, Tata Technologies will be contributing towards the development of new concepts and standards across these platforms.”
