Elektrobit and Israeli ADAS technology supplier Mobileye have agreed to integrate EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications into the Mobileye Drive Level 4 autonomous driving platform.
Under the collaboration, Mobileye Drive will embed the German automotive software developer’s safety-compliant, open-source operating system into its end-to-end self-driving stack.
The integrated solution will be aimed at global original equipment manufacturer (OEM) programmes and robotaxi operators.
It is intended to deliver automotive-grade functionality and enable over-the-air updates within Mobileye’s scalable autonomous architecture.
Elektrobit CEO Maria Anhalt said: “Working with Mobileye and opening up our cooperation on EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications reflects our commitment to practical, safe, and scalable innovation.
“Together, we are helping pave the way for the next generation of reliable autonomous driving systems”
EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications is presented as an open-source operating system assessed against automotive functional safety standards.
The platform allows manufacturers and suppliers to deploy Linux in safety-related high-performance computing environments, including advanced driver-assistance and autonomous driving systems.
Mobileye Drive is a Level 4 autonomous system designed for robotaxis, ride-pooling, public transport and goods delivery vehicles.
Built on Mobileye’s EyeQ system-on-chip, it combines artificial intelligence (AI)-based computing with a dedicated safety architecture.
It is designed to integrate across multiple vehicle categories for driverless operation within defined operational domains.
Mobileye technology has been installed in approximately 230 million vehicles globally.
The Mobileye Drive platform is currently undergoing trials at several sites across Europe and North America.
The partnership focuses on embedding a safety-certified Linux operating system within Mobileye’s autonomous driving software stack for future OEM and mobility deployments.
Mobileye autonomous vehicles executive vice president Johann Jungwirth added: “Working together with software innovators in the automotive field like Elektrobit is a key factor in expediting the mass-production of vehicles equipped with the self-driving system Mobileye Drive.”
Elektrobit introduced EB tresos AutoCore Light in July last year, aimed at supporting development of lower-cost software for software-defined vehicles.
The product targets peripheral electronic control units such as smart sensors and actuators, and is designed to work with modern zonal architectures as well as upgrades of existing domain architectures.
