Platform integrated with the Lovino software framework

NXP Semiconductors announced today that it is collaborating with Elektrobit (EB), a company specializing in developing embedded and connected technology solutions for the automotive industry, on a new development platform for autonomous driving.

NXP will offer a new development platform that integrates the NXP BlueBox Automated Drive Development Platform with Elektrobit's robinos software framework.

Automakers need solutions to overcome challenges such as quickly and reliably routing multi-stream data from sensors, developing complex software in-house, and finding unique ways to differentiate themselves.

EB Lovino is a hardware-agnostic software framework that helps automakers and suppliers manage the complexity of advanced vehicle systems. It leverages artificial intelligence for advanced situational awareness and path planning, integrating functional safety and error management to support automated driving functions.

"Automakers at the forefront of autonomous vehicle development are facing challenging times amidst increasing complexity and intense competition," said Martin Schleicher, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Partnerships at Elektrobit. "Elektrobit and NXP are working together to provide these manufacturers with a powerful competitive advantage." “This collaboration will enable automakers to further accelerate the development of advanced autonomous driving capabilities and help achieve the highest levels of safety,” he said.
