The platform will address growing needs of the automotive ecosystem for scalable and upgradable solutions, which requires advanced and power-efficient compute, connectivity and cloud service capabilities across all vehicle tiers.
The system integrates Veoneer’s perception and driving policy software stack and Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride ADAS/AD scalable portfolio of System on a Chip (SoC) and Accelerators. Veoneer and Qualcomm Technologies have worked together for several months to create a roadmap of a scalable, open ADAS and autonomous driving system, which will be able to address the entire automotive OEM market with an integrated software and SoC platform.
Arriver is Veoneer’s dedicated software unit for the development of the complete perception and drive policy software stack.
“Arriver stands for quality, openness and scalability and has a safety-first approach,” said Arriver president, Giuseppe Rosso. “Arriver’s goal is to be one of the key players and long-term leaders in the market for ADAS, collaborative and autonomous driving software.”
