GENIVI Alliance, the automotive industry association driving the development and adoption of an open In-vehicle Infotainment (IVI) reference platform, said Renault and Nissan would launch a new joint programme to deliver a common IVI system.
The new automotive software programme will supply all low to mid and high end Renault and Nissan vehicles globally and will be supplied by Bosch.
Alexandre Corjon, Renault-Nissan Alliance global vice president, EE & systems engineering, said: “Renault-Nissan believes GENIVI will become the new standard automotive operating system that will be used in in-vehicle infotainment systems. A GENIVI solution will allow both an increase in quality level and a decrease in the cost of systems due to re-use of many software modules.”
The new common IVI system will use GENIVI Compliant middleware that allows the alliance to use substantially the same software platform with different hardware solutions to cover the spectrum of low to high end products.
The alliance team will also offer to re-use middleware key components created in this programme with other Tier One suppliers in future programmes.
