Forvia is using Wipro’s edge cloud building blocks, namely microservices and vehicle container architecture components, to enhance its vehicle safety and comfort applications.
Forvia’s ADAS applications are mostly independent of hardware, lower in maintenance costs and continuously integrated into OEM value chains thanks to the underlying cloud-native architecture. The project with Wipro involved Forvia’s innovative surround-view technology, which combines exterior camera views into an immersive 3D perspective that helps drivers park their vehicles safely and easily.
All functions of Forvia’s ADAS applications set have now been brought into a loosely connected, service-oriented microservice architecture. This update has led to significantly lower software development lifecycle (SDLC) costs. Forvia can now market its ADAS features and functions separately or combine them easily with ADAS functions from a customer or third party.
Graziella Neuvéglise, regional head and managing director for Southern Europe at Wipro, said, “We’re very pleased with the outcome of this work for Forvia. This project shows our strong and diverse skills in the software defined vehicle area, working with automotive leaders to boost their growth and rethink safety and entertainment features using cloud-native engineering principles.”
Vanessa Picron, vice president of Forvia’s Electronics Europe Division, added, “Within the software transformation of the automotive industry, moving to microservices and container architecture is a key lever to bring more competitive, easier-to-integrate functions to our customers and extend our business with new software-only solutions, including on safety-relevant features.”
