Sonatus, a leading supplier of AI and software-defined vehicle (SDV) solutions, announced Sonatus AI Director, a game-changing platform that enables OEMs to deploy AI at the vehicle edge.

With the Sonatus AI Director, the US company is introducing a development platform for edge AI that enables automakers and suppliers to bring AI applications into vehicles more quickly and efficiently. The solution aims to replace the fragmented approaches currently seen in the industry.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and software-defined vehicle (SDV) supplier Sonatus has launched a platform to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) use AI to transform driving and ownership experiences with greater efficiency and lower costs.

Sonatus, a leading supplier of AI and software-defined vehicle (SDV) solutions, announced Sonatus AI Director, a game-changing platform that enables OEMs to deploy AI at the vehicle edge. Automotive AI is growing rapidly, projected to reach a market size of $46B annually by 2034, and in-vehicle edge AI software and services will be an increasingly important component.

Debuting at IAA 2025, the software platform acts like a middle manager, allowing AI services to find a home without adding more hardware.

Sunnyvale, CA-based Sonatus today announced what it says is a game-changing platform that enables OEMs to deploy AI at the vehicle edge. Its Sonatus AI Director provides OEMs and suppliers with an end-to-end toolchain for model training, validation, optimization, and deployment while integrating with vehicle data, executing models in isolated environments, and providing cloud-based remote monitoring of model performance.

At IAA Mobility in Munich, September 9-14, 2025 (press day September 8), Elektrobit will showcase its expanding line of open-source and virtual development solutions enabling carmakers to accelerate the development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Elektrobit technology is powering the future of automotive software from HMI and virtual development to over-the-air (OTA) updates, cloud-native workflows and safety-critical systems.

Software-defined vehicles are misunderstood, and automakers must reformulate their efforts to build them.

Automakers have cut back on software initiatives. They have embraced open-source development. They have refocused on platforms across brands and models, rather than on incremental changes to stacks powering different software domains.

In the fast-paced and rapidly transforming landscape of commercial mobility, one thing is increasingly clear: the future of commercial vehicles will likely be software-defined.

Vehicle data is critical for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to drive continuous product innovation and performance improvements and to support new value-added services. Similarly, the increasing digitalization of vehicle architectures and adoption of software-configurable functions allow OEMs to add new features and capabilities efficiently.
