The automotive industry is rapidly advancing, driven by a push for more personalized, secure, and comfortable vehicles. Yet, this evolution brings challenges, as the increase in Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and the diversification of software and hardware escalate system complexity. The rise of highly automated driving and the need for Car-2-X communication and software over-the-air (OTA) updates set new benchmarks for software platforms in next-gen ECUs.

The shift towards ECU consolidation, marked by a reduction in controller numbers and a greater integration of System-on-Chip (SoC) components, opens up opportunities for innovation. Classic and Adaptive AUTOSAR platforms are pivotal in this transformation—Classic AUTOSAR ensures real-time performance and safety, while Adaptive AUTOSAR allows for OTA updates, improving vehicle functionality over time.

At Tata Elxsi, we bring our rich experience in automotive microcontrollers and SoC development to the forefront, assisting OEMs with their AUTOSAR migration strategies. Our services are designed to streamline the transition to standardized architectures, promoting ECU consolidation and offering comprehensive MCAL development solutions for the vehicles of tomorrow.
