Frequently asked questions?
No one company in the automotive industry can deliver all the technology needed to achieve a software-defined vehicle. Software complexity is growing and strategic partnerships are beneficial to offer vehicle developers accelerated time to market. Our vehicle software platform consists of both in-vehicle software and cloud-based services working tightly together to solve key challenges for vehicle software stacks. This also enables automakers to optimize their developers time to focus on unique differentiating functionality for their cars, trucks, and every type of vehicle. It also enables rapid innovation without software development to allow rapid innovation in software defined vehicles.
The Sonatus Vehicle Platform provides software to interact with hardware across the entire vehicle. Whether for data collection, automation, or managing OTA updates, this single platform provides critical features that speed development for automakers, enabling faster integration and prototyping. Compared to other platforms which only focus on infotainment or “head unit” optimization, this solution can work across the vehicle.
The platform also enables the automotive industry to streamline cloud connectivity for to ensure every system they develop can be monitored effectively. Components can be tested with remote diagnostics to ensure the system is working correctly. In addition, components can be tuned and updated to improve performance, power, and efficiency while ensuring safety.
Sonatus has a proven track record of working with automakers and their unique vehicle architectures. The development of software defined vehicles does not need to redesign every vehicle system to achieve significant progress. Sonatus meets our OEM and Tier-1 partners wherever they are in their design cycle, whether they are early in developing their E/E architecture of their vehicles or further along and closer to production. In either case, the products in the Sonatus Vehicle Platform can enable a wide range of important innovation.
Software defined vehicles offer many benefits across a range of vehicle models. Vehicle safety systems like autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) require increased vehicle software and need to achieve ongoing improvements and new features over time. Our vehicle software platform can offer accelerated development and the ability to tune safety systems through continuous integration. This benefits specific functions like ADAS, but also many other vehicle systems and services. For all these use cases, Sonatus products reduce the software development burden and reducing time consuming validation of the rapidly transforming use cases demanded of software defined vehicles. Most of the platform enables console-based configurations without asking developers to code, validate and deploy software to achieve new functionality.
No, in fact many of the needs of automotive software improve the handling of the many other hardware systems across the vehicle besides infotainment. Sonatus Foundation supports the development of vehicle hardware architectures, data management, connectivity to the cloud, the ability to manage applications, and integration and management of configurable vehicle networks. Sonatus Collector enables developers to focus on high quality data and support for all vehicle components. Sonatus Automator and Sonatus Updater enables developing new features, deploying enhanced capabilities, and integrating new functionality after shipment. Sonatus Guard provides security features that work with technology providers like cybersecurity threat partners to protect automakers cars and trucks from security threats, especially threats to the network arising from increased vehicle connectivity.
