Red Hat, Inc. announced a collaboration with ETAS, to deliver an in-vehicle automotive platform that will lower the development cost and further accelerate time-to-market for automakers. This pre-integrated and pre-tested foundation platform will provide automakers with a streamlined out-of-the-box developer experience to deliver application software. The ETAS deterministic middleware solution will significantly accelerate the development of advanced driver assistance systems applications with Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System positioned to provide a continuously-certified and open standards-based operating system.

Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System helps to move the auto industry towards more scalable software designs by enabling and accelerating many of the current trends in the automotive space. Together with ETAS deterministic middleware, this solution will provide automakers with an extendable platform for developing, testing and deploying ADAS and automated driving (AD) applications on software-defined vehicles in addition to: Faster time-to-market with a pre-integrated stack, by leveraging unique ETAS deterministic middleware features on top of Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System. Deterministic replay enables developers to more accurately reproduce even the most complicated bugs, reported from their fleet, and step-through them within minutes instead of days with traditional approaches.

Red Hat In-Vehicle Operation System offers a scalable and flexible platform to support both standard and ASIL-B safety applications. The combined strength of the two layers enable not only faster application development but also efficient automated verification testing with maximum accuracy, independent of the execution hardware - a great fit to scale out automotive test infrastructure into the cloud; Reduced development costs by having a consistent platform with modernized toolchains that enables simplified development and easy reuse of software components across vehicle models and production years; Enhanced reliability, safety and compliance with a pre-integrated stack to help verify that safety-critical components are integrated in a compliant and efficient manner. The pre-integrated stack improves the reliability and safety of ADAS and AD systems with a focus on safety and determinism; Improved scalability and flexibility, allowing customers to develop and deploy applications on a wide range of hardware platforms spanning from in-vehicle electronic control units to the cloud-based development lab; Extended operating stack security features provided by Red Hat's expertise in open source security and compliance combined with ETAS expertise in automotive software security and real-time OS validating the security posture of the pre-integrated stack and its compliance with industry standards and regulations.
