Autonomous Driving: An Eye on the Road Ahead

Advocates say autonomous driving will save lives, reduce traffic congestion and emissions, make road travel accessible to people with disabilities, and deliver an unrivaled driving, or non-driving, experience. Automakers who can solve the challenges of safety and security, tame technological and legal complexity, and get to market with a self-driving car faster will have a clear competitive advantage. This white paper reviews the current state of autonomous driving, its various stages, and the key technological challenges car manufacturers must address to get in the game.

There's no longer any question about it: autonomous vehicles are coming. The real question is when and how they'll move off the drawing board and test track and onto our streets and highways. Some say self-driving cars will be on the road as early as 2020, but whatever the timeframe, ultimately the most pivotal issue that will drive the commercial availability of the autonomous car is production readiness. This paper examines the technical challenges facing the industry.

Learn:

  • How software drives the value of the autonomous car
  • Core requirements for production-ready software
  • What it takes to move from the lab to production

Automotive Innovators: It's Time to Own the Software

At what point do automakers confront the fact that they are in the software business? The trend has been building for decades, little by little, as software has contributed more and more to consumer functionality, the user experience, and the dynamics of the vehicle—from dashboard instruments to the connected vehicle, powertrain, safety systems, and in-vehicle infotainment. This paper explores the need for automakers to adopt more complete software ownership strategies, and the specific capabilities of Roland Berger and Wind River® for delivering on these demands.

Learn:

  • How software is driving the perceived value of the vehicle
  • Key considerations of owning the software
  • When software and strategy require cross-competencies

Certification of Avionics Applications on Multi-core Processors: Opportunities and Challenges

Using the latest multi-core processors in integrated modular avionics (IMA) programs is a perfect solution for consolidating avionics applications and reducing size, weight, and power (SWaP) on next-generation platforms. However, multi-core processors pose many more system implementation and certification challenges than typical single-core or multiple discrete processor solutions. This paper provides guidance on the certification challenges of multi-core solutions as well as an update on work at Wind River® to develop commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) RTCA DO-178C DAL A certification evidence packages for VxWorks® 653 3.0 Multi-core Edition platform.

LEARN

  • Potential risks associated with multi-core certification programs
  • Key tenets when seeking certification for safety-critical applications
  • Insights from the DO-178C DAL A certification strategy for VxWorks 653
