Self-driving cars take to the streets of Gothenburg
ARCCORE has announced that it has been invited to participate in the pre-development of embedded software platform technology for highly autonomous driving and next-gen active safety features. ARCCORE aims to support the realisation of the large-scale highly autonomous driving pilot project “Drive Me”. Drive Me is the world’s biggest pilot project, whereby self-driving cars will be deployed on public roads in the Gothenburg area.
To support the development of highly autonomous vehicles, ARCCORE extends its embedded software platform Arctic Core, following the Automotive standard AUTOSAR, to fully leverage on next generation multicore microcontrollers and provide a multi-operating system environment. To facilitate the development of complex solutions, ARCCORE introduces safe inter-core communication mechanisms, secure high-performance communication technologies like Ethernet and FlexRay, and enables a highly efficient interface to operating systems like Linux and others.
“We clearly see that the market requires much more complex solutions in applications such as autonomous driving and advanced infotainment,” said Michael Odälv, CEO, ARCCORE. “These solutions require multicore microcontrollers supporting multiOS configurations, reliable safety according to ISO 26262 and advanced security features. I'm happy that ARCCORE is acknowledged as a trusted provider of key technology in these areas, paving the way for future applications."
