Greater adaptability without compromising on functional safety and security requirements;
Accelerated development cycles for new feature deployment and hardware upgrades to better keep pace with rapid technological advancements;
A software-first approach and a unified, cloud-native environment including a virtual simulator to give customers the ability to develop software and hardware in parallel through digital twins;
An optimized developer environment to fuel more rapid innovation;
Reduced lifecycle risk and costs with long-term maintainability and a robust security footprint powered by open source standards and enterprise support.
By utilizing upstream Linux drivers, supported by Red Hat's renowned enterprise support, carmakers are presented with a robust and scalable foundation with a stronger software security posture for their SDVs. This approach helps safeguard software investments while paving the way for ongoing innovation.
Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System limits complexity
Red Hat has been working across the automotive industry with organizations including ETAS,
Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System is revolutionizing how manufacturers manage vehicle safety requirements alongside software innovation. Previously, safety-critical and non-safety-critical workloads needed separate virtual machines and operating systems that also required a hypervisor. Now, these workloads can be efficiently containerized with Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System with minimal complexity and resource usage. Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System is well suited for many vehicle domain functions including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment (IVI), digital cockpit, body control, telemetry and others, and also supports virtualization to help provide a unified solution for diverse automotive workloads
Availability
Customers will be able to gain early access to refined versions of this new flexible compute platform, including a Renesas reference platform for rapid prototyping, in the second half of 2024.
