Leverage Our Expertise
ACCELERATE DELIVERY AND STAY AGILE
OEMs can benefit from Aptiv and Wind River’s global footprint, solution accelerators and at-scale processes. Our long history of managing software platforms, developing applications and validating systems for software-defined vehicles make us an ideal partner for a wide range of projects.
Linux Platform Maintenance
Stay ahead of CVEs
OEMs face ongoing security risks from common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) and the complexity of maintaining legacy Linux versions. Keep Linux systems secure, stable and production-ready with proactive CVE patching, kernel updates and expert support for legacy systems. Minimize security and compliance risks and lower the internal maintenance burden.
- Monitoring and analyzing upstream CVEs, patches and driver updates
- Evaluating relevance and impact on customer-specific platforms
- Backporting and integrating selected fixes on a quarterly cadence
- Delivering accelerated releases for critical threats
Android Platform Maintenance
Offload complex BSP and security updates
Board support package (BSP) and security updates can be complex and resource-intensive. OEM and partner integrations often result in conflicts. By leveraging Aptiv and Wind River’s Android Platform Maintenance service, OEMs can offload technically complex BSP and security updates to ensure fast SoC adoption, smooth integrations and proven Android compliance. Reduce integration risks and platform downtime with verified compliance.
- Integrating new BSP releases (kernel, HALs, firmware, bootloader) into the Android platform
- Delivering prioritized Android security and stability updates with tailored risk analysis
- Running Android compliance test suites (CTS/VTS) plus regression and integration tests
Android Application Updates
Keep in-vehicle apps fresh, secure and compliant
Outdated apps can damage an OEM’s user experience and weaken brand identity, while constant updates pose a risk to performance and compatibility. Aptiv and Wind River’s Android Application Updates offering ensures long-term Android compatibility and compliance. Keep in-vehicle apps fresh, secure, and compliant with feature updates, UI refreshes, and seamless Android migration.
- Updating OEM-specific apps with new features
- Refreshing apps with a modern, brand-aligned UI
- Migrating apps to newer Android versions
- Refactoring Aptiv reference apps for easily customizable, modular reuse
New Android IVI Applications
Build Automotive-Grade Android Apps
Off-the-shelf apps lack OEM-specific, branded experiences, and deep vehicle integration requires specialized development. By partnering with Aptiv and Wind River Automotive Services, OEMs can build innovative, automotive-grade Android applications that are deeply integrated and meet strict industry standards.
- Completing requirements analysis for software-defined vehicles (infotainment, connectivity, HMI)
- Leveraging a modular, scalable architecture for AAOS and custom OEM platforms
- Building, validating and securely deploying production-ready apps
Auto Software Performance Optimization
Maximize efficiency and responsiveness
Inefficient resource utilization across CPU, memory and networking results in slow startup and lagging responsiveness. Complex system tuning requires deep platform expertise. Using Aptiv and Wind River’s Auto Software Performance Optimization, OEMs can improve system responsiveness and reduce boot times, while optimizing resource use for Android and Linux automotive platforms.
- Performance optimization for Linux boot time, kernel configuration, middleware and Android
- Containerization for workload isolation, dynamic resource allocation and secure communication
- System profiling, diagnostics, and network/connectivity optimization
SDV and Roadmap Acceleration
Accelerate the journey to software-defined vehicles
Increasing system complexity hinders software reuse and slows development. They also seek hardware independence across platforms and want to avoid vendor lock-in. Accelerate development for software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with flexible middleware, architectures and migration services – all of which enable software reuse and hardware independence.
- Domain-specific proof-of-concept development to validate solutions and inform architecture
- Middleware porting to new SoCs/OSes
- Decoupling software from specific hardware, and application migration and re-architecture from legacy systems to Aptiv SDV architecture
Synthetic Cockpit Data Service
Reduce costs and accelerate validation of in-vehicle monitoring systems
Current data collection methods to test in-vehicle monitoring systems can be cumbersome as OEMs look to recreate scenarios and ensure a diversity of subjects. It can also be costly and complex to set up test vehicles and hardware and manually annotate data. Accelerate machine learning model validation with Aptiv and Wind River’s Synthetic Cockpit Data Service. Its scalable, privacy-safe synthetic cockpit data captures real-world complexity and edge cases.
- Ability to generate custom datasets based on a manufacturer’s vehicle CAD data and our library
- Use of a synthetic data generation tool for iterative data generation
- Investigative studies to evaluate new functionality, camera positioning options, and/or competing algorithms
- Pre-certification of camera-based occupant detection systems
