Key learning objectives
Resolve traditional ADAS/AD
software scheduling challenges with
a software-defined safety platform
Achieve your business goals, while
optimizing your ADAS/AD
technology strategy
Unlock opportunities and benefits of
a platform-centric solution for
automated driving
Minimize development and
deployment risks of your ADAS/AD

Self-driving cars are becoming reality
Did you know?
The automated driving
journey began
95 years ago
5
Designing a sound safety approach is one
of the most critical challenges
Fail-operational capabilities need to be
brought to the core of the design principles
And the journey continues towards conquering
the highly automated driving use cases
6
Market drivers
Sourcing best-in-class solution
elements
Brings freedom to OEMs or Tier 1s to select the best-in-class
applications from different vendors
High transparency is achieved, as opposed to the old approach with sourcing a complete closed-box
system
Change #2

Faster innovation
cycles
With the decoupling of the application from HW, faster
innovation cycles are enabled
Serves as a competitive advantage
Maximizes solution efficiency and value
From one-function appliances
to a software platform
Change #1
Move away from one-function
hardware appliances to a software-
defined architecture
Highly modular, converged,
centralized, service-oriented
platform is needed
Built on generic high-performance
computing HW enabling software
function re-use
Automotive industry is evolving at a high speed
