Today’s vehicles have transformed from a means of transportation with a few in-vehicle electronic control units into internet-connected datacenters on wheels that capture and process volumes of data about the vehicle and its surroundings. The autonomous car needs to be kept as secure and up to date as any other connected system. SUSE and Elektrobit have joined forces to provide a future software platform for automobiles that fulfils all the key requirements around openness and transparency, security and safety, and seamless system updates over the air. All backed up by a broad open source community that provides constant innovation and a large talent pool. We’ve combined SUSE’s almost three decades of experience with hardening and maintaining open source software for the most mission critical use cases with Elektrobit’s expertise in building software solutions that meet and exceed the requirements of the automotive industry.
