We talked to Christine Jacobsson, software developer and responsible for Functional Safety at BorgWarner.

Volvo Cars is finding new ways to enable AAOS development in the automotive industry using standardized ways to communicate vehicle signal data (according to COVESA’s Vehicle Signal Specification VSS) with modern and collaborative tooling i.e. RemotiveLabs.

Juhani Lehtimäki, an experienced app developer and CEO of the infotainment company Snapp Automotive comments on the opportunities and obstacles in building great in-vehicle experiences.

Our RemotiveBroker runs on the hardware of your choice - now you can get it preconfigured on automotive grade hardware from Host Mobility! Preconfigured HMX and MX-4 T30 FR is the latest addition of available reference kits and a smooth and easy way to get started!

As per modern software principles, the team that builds the software should also be testing it. However, in vehicle development, this is not always the case. Developers are used to limited availability to vehicle data and test rigs which causes frustration and slows down development. RemotiveLabs offers a complement to the hardware-first, expensive toolings commonly used.
