Automotive

Digitalization, electrification, connectivity, autonomous driving – the complexity of systems in the automotive industry is increasing ever faster as the range of functions grows.
Software has become a central component of automotive development. However, its use poses challenges for the development process. Because every (software) component must be absolutely secure. We make sure that no safety-relevant functions impair or endanger people.

Safety for the highly automated and connected mobility of tomorrow

We support projects from the initial idea, through conception and development, right up to series production. Our teams of experts work closely with you to ensure that you are familiar with and implement all the requirements of the applicable standards. In various roles, we support them in bringing pioneering technologies for the automotive industry onto the road.
