In order to advance the next generation of software-defined vehicles, Red Hat unveiled a complete partner ecosystem that would work together around the Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System to pre-integrate silicon, middleware, application software, and services on the platform.
The shift to software-defined architectures in the automotive industry necessitates a new phase of cooperation.
The transition to a software-centric design strategy calls for more targeted collaborations, even if automakers have historically depended on a broad ecosystem of IP providers, semiconductor manufacturers, independent software vendors (ISVs), tier-1 suppliers, and global systems integrators (GSIs).
To make sure Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System successfully supports this transition, Red Hat is aggressively fostering these focused partnerships.
Red Hat gives the automotive sector greater confidence and options when implementing the Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System by assembling a strong network of reliable industry leaders. This helps manufacturers produce more capable, software-defined vehicles faster. For example:
- With silicon vendors, Red Hat enables software portability through hardware abstraction to enable faster software design while ensuring that key silicon features remain available for upper layers of the software stack.
- Middleware and software vendors help drive more seamless integration for critical applications running on Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System.
- Systems integrators are collaborating with Red Hat to build end-to-end solutions and system capabilities to accelerate design processes and shorten test cycles, transforming the vehicle into a high-value platform that can deliver richer end-user experiences and unlock new revenue streams for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
