An increasing dependency on software, electronic control units (ECUs), sensors, 
and microprocessors to power autonomous vehicle systems and features--combined 
with the intricacy and complexity of securely managing over-the-air (OTA) 
software updates for millions of vehicles simultaneously--has created a demand 
for an automotive-grade solution comprised of high-performance telematics 
processors backed by a robust OTA software management platform. Bringing 
Renesas R-Car S4 together with Airbiquity OTAmatic ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3418217-1&h=197908759&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.airbiquity.com%2Fproduct-offerings%2Fsoftware-and-data-management&a=Airbiquity+OTAmatic 
) enables a secure, high-performance solution to power the next wave of 
advanced autonomous driving capabilities for automakers.

Initially, the combination of R-Car S4 and OTAmatic provides delivery of 
software updates to a Linux-based primary ECU. Additional integrations will 
provide delivery of software updates to secondary ECUs and compliance with the 
AUTOSAR Adaptive software architecture ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3418217-1&h=104991113&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.autosar.org%2Fstandards%2Fadaptive-platform%2F&a=AUTOSAR+Adaptive+software+architecture 
) standard for ease of integration with automotive platforms and software 
stacks.

"Providing sophisticated services and technologies that enable advanced driver 
assistance systems and autonomous driving are critical needs of the automotive 
industry," said Keefe Leung, Airbiquity Vice President of Product Management. 
"Airbiquity and Renesas are advancing the integration of our OTAmatic software 
management platform running on Renesas' R-Car SoC by adding secure multi-ECU 
updates utilizing the latest AUTOSAR Adaptive software architecture standard to 
address the latest emerging functionalities."

"As vehicle architectures continue to evolve, reliable and secure management of 
in-vehicle software will continue to be a challenge for the industry," said 
Naoki Yoshida, Vice President of Renesas' Automotive Digital Products Marketing 
Division. "Airbiquity has leading OTA software technology and cloud services 
that enable connected vehicle OTA as well as experience working with Renesas' 
R-Car SoCs. Working together, we will deliver an advanced production-ready 
solution for R-Car SoC customers that will mitigate these OTA challenges while 
contributing to the widespread adoption of connected and autonomous driving."
