Vehicles are becoming increasingly reliant on complex, embedded software due to growing demands for vehicle performance, especially as new systems in advanced driver assistance system and electrification proliferate. The number of ECUs per vehicle has steadily risen, with luxury cars typically having more than 80 ECUs each.
For this reason, in-vehicle electronic system control will need to be able to process larger quantities of more diverse data than at present. Reliable, basic software will be required to coordinate many ECUs and control the entire vehicle.
In the partnership, Denso will combine its technologies related to in-vehicle electronic system control, as well as in mass production, with PiNTeam’s embedded software solutions, which meet European standards.
PiNTeam is a software integration company founded in 2013 and located in Munich, with further sites in Düsseldorf and Timisoara.
