The transportation industry is rapidly transitioning from hardware-centric systems to software-defined architectures, where intelligence, functionality, and adaptability are driven by software. Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) enable continuous innovation through over-the-air (OTA) updates, virtualization, AI integration, and secure connectivity—allowing vehicles to evolve throughout their lifecycle.
Our whitepaper examines the core challenges and enabling technologies of SDVs, focusing on functional safety, cybersecurity, mixed-criticality management, and real-time AI integration. At the center of this transformation is SYSGO’s PikeOS, a certifiable real-time operating system (RTOS) and separation kernel that provides deterministic performance, strong isolation, and virtualization for safety- and mission-critical automotive domains.
PikeOS supports the consolidation of ADAS, telematics, and sensor fusion functions on shared hardware, reducing complexity and cost while meeting ISO 26262 ASIL D and Common Criteria EAL5+ requirements. Its integration with initiatives such as HAL4SDV and ROS 2 enables modular, interoperable, and cloud-connected SDV platforms.
