Systems, software solutions and services for the automotive industry

The well documented trend to greater use of software in motor vehicles means that the market for both vehicle software and related services is rapidly increasing. Many high end cars already feature around 100 electronic control units running embedded software applications, and this trend is set to continue into all classes of vehicles as manufacturers strive to meet legislative constraints and to differentiate their products through new levels of performance and additional features/benefits.

Within the automotive industry there is an ever more visible trend to use safety critical software enabled systems for applications such as braking and steering control and driver assistance systems, where failure can have serious consequences not only for the safety of lives of road users, but also for the reputation of the motor vehicle manufacturers and their system suppliers.

The requirements for quality and reliability, and the need to employ the highest standards in software development for such safety critical software are virtually identical to those that apply for critical spacecraft software. Rovsing’s strong background and know-how in spacecraft critical software development, independent verification and validation of critical software systems as well as the supply of test systems for testing of highly reliable complex electronics systems forms a solid platform for our offerings to the automotive industry.
