Tata Technologies and Synopsys collaborate to accelerate software-defined vehicle (SDV) innovation. This partnership aims to streamline development via early verification and validation of electronic systems. A pilot program successfully delivered a next-gen E/E architecture blueprint for a European luxury OEM, enhancing SDV development. This collaboration will address SDV complexity and aims to empower OEMs for a leading role.
Strategic Collaboration Overview
Tata Technologies and Synopsys have announced a strategic alliance to expedite software-defined vehicle (SDV) advancements. The collaboration will focus on accelerating verification and validation of electronic systems early in the development process. This initiative combines Tata Technologies’ automotive engineering expertise with Synopsys’ virtualization solutions.
Pilot Program Success
The collaboration has already demonstrated success through a pilot engagement with a European luxury OEM, where a next-generation E/E architecture migration blueprint was delivered. This blueprint is intended to accelerate the OEM’s SDV journey. Additional pilot programs are underway in North America, Europe, and India.
Executive Perspectives
Sriram Lakshminarayanan, Chief Technology Officer at Tata Technologies, stated that the partnership marks a purposeful step towards a software-defined future, enabling OEMs to deliver safer, smarter, and more sustainable vehicles. Tom De Schutter, Senior Vice President at Synopsys, emphasized that the collaboration brings together world-class digital twin, verification, and IP platforms with Tata Technologies’ engineering expertise, accelerating the development and delivery of software- and AI-defined vehicles.
Key Focus Areas
The collaboration will cover various SDV domains, including ADAS, powertrain, chassis, body, central compute, gateways, infotainment, connectivity, and electrification. Focus areas will include shift-left enablement, Synopsys tools and technologies for performance and safety analysis, Tata Technologies’ embedded systems and software solutions, and embedded systems and software verification services aligned with ISO 26262 and ASPICE standards.
