The SDV Accellerator

The idea behind the SDV Accelerator is to make it dramatically easier to build, test, and integrate automotive software without hardware, friction, or long setup cycles.

HERE Technologies: A global leader in mapping and location technology, delivering unified map data, navigation SDKs, and location intelligence powering digital cockpit, ADAS, and autonomous driving solutions

Amazon Web Services (AWS): A widely adopted cloud platform, providing compute, AI/ML, analytics, and automotive-tailored services. The SDV Accelerator is part of AWS’s broader push to help OEMs accelerate cloud-native SDV development

Other SDV Accelerator partners:

  • Arm – cloud-native reference compute for SDV workloads​
  • Elektrobit – AUTOSAR and Virtual IVI solutions​
  • FORVIA / Appning – automotive app ecosystem​
  • Micware – in-vehicle and cloud domain expertise​
  • Mireo – advanced navigation and ADAS solutions​
  • NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS – global automotive connectivity​
  • Panasonic Automotive Systems – virtual cockpit reference systems​
  • QNX – safety-certified OS and hypervisor supporting cloud-based development​.

Powering faster digital cockpit development for Software Defined Vehicles

The SDV Accelerator combines AWS cloud and AI capabilities with HERE’s mapping, location, and simulation technologies, together with solutions from a growing list of partners. For OEMs and suppliers, this means:

  • A ready-to-use SDV reference architecture.
  • Sample code and curated AWS Marketplace solutions.
  • Unified access to location services.
  • Cloud-native workflows for cockpit, ADAS, and vehicle platform teams.
  • Validated integration patterns across partners - reducing setup time dramatically.

How RemotiveLabs contributes

Many partners deliver powerful cockpit stacks, OS/hypervisors, and domain simulations. We provide the plumbing that makes everything work together - cloud-native, developer-friendly, and ready forCI/CD. Here’s how our existing contributions strengthen the SDV Accelerator:

1. Proven AWS-based pipelines - already running at OEM scale

We already support Volvo Cars in running large-scale CI and development workloads onAWS, including AWS Graviton, by integrating RemotiveTopology into their cloud-based pipeline. This setup enables faster test execution, reduced compute cost, and a scalable foundation for SDV ready development. Read more: Integrate with CI Pipeline.

2. Virtual ECU interoperability: Android and more

RemotiveTopology orchestrates complex virtual ECU networks including cockpit,ADAS, body, central compute. This enables teams to test early and often, without waiting for rigs. Our solution supports:

3. Mapping and location integration using HERE technologies

At CES 2026, RemotiveLabs demoed HERE Navigation (APK) running inside RemotiveTopology. This allows teams to test navigation, routing, EV planning, and ADAS triggers with real data and virtualECUs. As SDV Accelerator members, we help OEMs:

  • Integrate location intelligence earlier in SDV projects.
  • Validate map-driven functions in CI pipelines.
  • Develop and test Android-based cockpit experiences using HERE services in the cloud.

4. Reducing pre-integration overhead

A large share of automotive development time goes to “making things work together.” RemotiveLabs platform minimizes prerequisites, enables testing from day one and unifies cockpit, ADAS, and platform teams in one shared setup.

The solution supports variation handling and continuous iteration which aligns directly with the SDV Accelerator mission: remove friction, accelerate innovation, and left-shifting testing. In short: teams spend less time assembling environments and more time building value.
