Engineered for Integration

The foundational vehicle software platform unifies the proven technologies of QNX and Vector with innovations developed specifically for this platform, offering more than the sum of its parts. It integrates essential components, including the foundational operating system and virtualization technology from QNX, and robust middleware from Vector. With a focus on delivering a highly optimized platform for runtime execution, safety, and security certification at the system level, OEMs can streamline development, reduce integration overhead, and concentrate on creating differentiating in-vehicle experiences.

Redefine Your Development Cycle

The foundational vehicle software platform is a lightweight technical platform with a simplified approach to system configuration and standardized application development for deployment across various ECU types. Designed to evolve with industry needs, the foundational vehicle software platform is shaped by real-world insights to guide product direction, architecture, and use case priorities. This isn't just a platform; it's a commitment to driving the future of vehicle software through integration and automotive leadership.

Reduced Integration Effort

The foundational vehicle software platform simplifies the development of software-defined vehicles with a pre-integrated, modular platform. The foundation, platform services, and tools work together seamlessly, eliminating the need for time-consuming coordination between different software suppliers. This speeds up the development process and reduces costs throughout the entire life cycle.

Performance Optimization

The deeper integration of the operating system and middleware creates a high-performance environment for modern HPC applications. By reducing the load on the overall system, efficiency and response times are increased, which in turn enables OEMs and automotive suppliers to reduce costs by optimizing the hardware used.

Architecture of the Foundational Vehicle Software Platform

At its core is the QNX® OS for Safety or the QNX® Hypervisor for Safety 8.0, supplemented by certified runtime environments (e.g., Rust, C/C++) and Inter-Process Communication (IPC). The architecture is clearly layered: system services such as logging, power management, and time sync are accessible via the Foundational Vehicle Software Platform API.

Communication functions such as SOME/IP, safeIPC, and Zero Copy IPC ensure efficient data transfer. Integrated security functions – including firewall, qcrypto, and Security Policy Manager – meet the highest Cybersecurity requirements. Process and application management enable flexible control of vehicle functions through containerization, health monitoring, and state management. Standardized interfaces (SOVD, DOIP) and tools based on the configuration-as-code paradigm are available for Diagnostics and configuration.
