Real Time Innovations (RTI) will be showcasing its solution Connext Drive at CES, running from 7-10 January 2025 in Las Vegas. The safety-certified communications framework is for software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with a data-centric approach that allows OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to decouple applications from hardware.
The automotive industry is battling with the challenge of a software-defined future with technology complexity and the transition to a central compute model. Connext Drive seeks to address these challenges through the simplification of development for vehicles.
Based on the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard, Connext Drive enables seamless integration across diverse vehicle platforms without rewriting or custom code, accelerating product time to market. It also reduces development cycles by empowering developers to write applications once and deploy them across vehicles and entire fleets, with future-forward compliance to next-generation platforms—independent of the underlying architecture.
RTI will show off Connext Drive through a live demonstration of an adaptive headlamp system powered by Ansys simulation software and NXP GoldBox 3. The demo will highlight the following key capabilities:
- Simulation: Connext Drive integrates with market-leading simulation and gaming systems to enable early testing, with or without hardware
- Prototyping: Quickly create new concepts with off-the-shelf hardware, reusing the same code created for production
- Production: Use the same software to move from early stage development to fleet using automotive-grade hardware without custom coding
- CI/CD: Identify in-vehicle and V2X issues rapidly by accessing real-time vehicle data for continuous improvement and digital twin simulations
