Less Details

Developing for highly automated or autonomous vehicles requires a shift in how we orchestrate development. The first important transition is to embrace software: complex stacks, functions and algorithms, without which new vehicle tech is impossible. Secondly, we shall welcome horizontal integration and a platform-based approach, instead of traditional component and supplier verticals. This is especially important to fully transition to the SDV paradigm, which allows full upgradeability and on-the-fly customization towards user needs and final use cases. However, achieving safe and secure SDVs is disabled by current solution development paradigms, whereas a new approach is required. This approach is based on a safety and security culture instilled in all processes, while allowing the appropriate process tailoring so that this culture shift is not a burden, but a rewarding upgrade. In this session, UCSD and NIT Institute give an example of one major company transformation proposal and the outcomes which can be achieved. We outline the most important transformation program details, giving a blueprint to culture, know-how, process and paradigm shifts for any next-gen SDV-ready company to apply.

The Pop in Your Job:
My personal passion and also the one of the institutions I collaborate with is the ability to craft useful, safe and secure next-gen technologies based on software. Software started to dominate automotive architectures. However, the software engineering approaches which are widely used are based on an open-source, community-driven, deploy-debug-update mindset that poses great risks to automotive products. We are striving to crack these development principles and to give birth to modern, structured and safe development approaches while still retaining versatility of software development paradigms.

Company

NIT Institute / UCSD

www.nit-institute.com

NIT Institute continues a 20+ year long journey of excellence in automotive engineering and functional safety consultancy, research and education. Since 2020. we are established as a consultancy and training company (under the brand NIT Academy) with the goal to catalyze the transformation and growth of smart industries dominated by software, with automotive and autonomous driving with AI being among our key traits. Working with our Tier 1 and Tier 2 partners from the automotive ecosystem, we organize, manage, conceptualize and monitor projects as well as train teams on topics such as software-defined vehicles, automotive software frameworks (with AUTOSAR and beyond), functional safety and security with ISO 26262, ISO 21448 SOTIF, ASPICE, ISO/PAS 8800, ISO/SAE 21434, all relevant safety analysis methods (including STPA), as well as practical design guidance with modern hardware and SoCs. Our trainings are in-depth, hands-on and outcome-oriented, and we conduct two certificate tracks (with micro degrees) in functional safety for automotive as a partner of University of California San Diego Extended Studies.
