Fastlane™ Copilot
Plug-In AI for Vehicle Validation
Deploy dynamic data collection, edge AI, and AI-assisted validation workflows into test vehicles before production-level integration.
Fastlane Copilot transforms prototype vehicles into intelligent validation platforms with integrated data collection, edge AI, and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
Intelligent validation platform
Transform prototype vehicles into intelligent validation platforms with integrated data collection, edge AI, and cloud-connected engineering workflows.
- Automotive-grade gateway and connectivity hardware
- Pre-integrated Fastlane Collector and Fastlane Edge
- Rapid deployment into existing prototype and test vehicles
- Supports distributed and multi-team validation programs
AI-assisted engineering workflows
Connect validation fleets to Fastlane Insight for intelligent analysis, root-cause investigation, and continuous learning.
- Accelerated root-cause analysis and issue triage
- Cross-domain correlation across vehicle systems
- Guided investigations powered by vehicle and engineering data
- Reusable knowledge and insights across programs and vehicle platforms
Dynamic data collection
Use embedded Fastlane Collector to capture the right data, at the right moment, with full vehicle context to improve investigation quality and reduce re-drives.
- Event-driven data collection policies
- Access to vehicle signals, diagnostics, logs, and network traffic
- Configurable triggers, sampling rates, and capture duration
- Remote policy deployment and updates throughout validation
Edge AI for smarter testing
Through embedded Fastlane Edge, deploy and evaluate AI models directly in prototype vehicles to accelerate validation of intelligent vehicle functions.
- AI models on-vehicle in real-world conditions
- Anomaly detection and intelligent monitoring
- Virtual sensors and software-defined features validation
- Model performance evaluation across diverse driving scenarios
Purpose-built validation Hardware
Transform prototype and test vehicles into connected validation platforms with a high-performance gateway ECU, integrated connectivity, and vehicle-wide data access.
- Automotive-grade gateway ECU built on Arm-based automotive processor
- Vehicle-wide access through CAN-FD, Automotive Ethernet, and LIN networks
- Integrated 4G/5G, Wi-Fi, and GNSS/GPS connectivity for remote testing and fleet operations

FAQ
Yes, existing vehicles without advanced embedded software capabilities can benefit from Fastlane Copilot’s ability to accelerate test and validation and speed time-to-market. Fastlane Copilot can also be used for testing and prototyping as part of a broader portfolio of tools to assist OEM engineers.
Absolutely — this is one of the major use cases of Fastlane Copilot. It can be deployed in vehicles during the test and validation cycle as they near production, even if that software is not designed into the vehicle itself. Our customers have had impressive results deploying Fastlane Copilot rapidly into their prototyping cycle, delivering significant reductions in testing validation time and improving the outgoing vehicle quality, without designing the Fastlane Platform into the vehicle.
No. Fastlane Copilot is a complete solution comprising a hardware box preloaded with Fastlane Collector and Fastlane Edge to deliver compelling data collection, analysis and in-vehicle AI with a fast path to connect to Fastlane Insight in the cloud. The combined solution enables OEMs to be up and running — and benefitting from the capabilities of the Fastlane Platform — within days. The solution can also be used for rapid evaluation of the software in advance of embedding it into future vehicle designs.
Fastlane Copilot supports wireless interfaces, LTE, and GNSS capabilities designed for portability across major standards around the world. Regardless of the region you are operating, chances are that Fastlane Copilot will support the standard standards required for your region.
