At CES, German-based Elektrobit (EB), unveiled its latest innovations designed to accelerate the automotive industry’s transition to the software-defined vehicle (SDV). This includes a range of advanced open-source and virtual development solutions, a new classification framework for SDVs, and the debut of new technologies such as EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications and EB corbos Link, as well as novel use cases for generative AI.
At its booth in the Las Vegas Convention Center (West Hall, Booth #3400), Elektrobit is presenting the following highlights:
- SDV Classification Framework: Elektrobit introduces a six-level SDV classification system, ranging from zero to five, providing a structured roadmap for automakers to adopt SDV technologies effectively. This framework offers actionable steps for progression, aiding manufacturers in navigating the complexities of the SDV landscape.
- Award-Winning EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications: Recognized as a CES 2025 Innovation Award winner in the “Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility” category, this world-first open-source operating system compliant with automotive functional safety standards delivers unmatched speed, flexibility, and cost savings. Elektrobit is also releasing a free software development kit (SDK) for this platform, enabling developers to accelerate adoption.
- Virtual SDV Development Environment: Supporting a “Shift Left” approach, Elektrobit’s cloud-based virtual development platform allows automakers and suppliers to prototype, test, and validate designs earlier in the development process. This scalable, fast, and efficient platform helps transform innovative ideas into production-ready solutions.
- Next-Generation Digital Dashboard: Elektrobit’s pillar-to-pillar curved display sets a new benchmark for digital cockpits and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI). Powered by software solutions that facilitate efficient brand customization, localization, and updates over the vehicle lifecycle, this dashboard integrates partner technologies, including AMD automotive-grade components, Google Android Automotive, Unreal Engine by Epic Games, and Here navigation.
- EB corbos Link: Debuting at CES 2025, EB corbos Link bridges the AUTOSAR and Android ecosystems, delivering seamless interoperability while enabling advanced customization and reconfiguration of vehicle functions. This innovative development solution empowers automakers to create future-proof dashboards that are independent of specific hardware or software.
In addition to Elektrobit’s booth, its technologies will be showcased by partners across CES 2025, including AFEELA by Sony Honda Mobility (Central Hall, Booth #19904), which integrates Elektrobit’s IVI foundations into its revolutionary digital dashboard. Elektrobit solutions will also appear on the booths of AWS, Cognizant, dSPACE, Siemens, and Sonatus, reflecting the company’s broad impact on the mobility ecosystem.
In a press release, Maria Anhalt, CEO of Elektrobit, emphasized the importance of collaboration in shaping the future of mobility:
“In a world of challenges, Elektrobit’s mission is to provide solutions that enable OEMs, emerging players, and top tech companies to create software-defined mobility that is safe, secure, and future-proof. We believe open-source software is the key to implementing a ‘code to road’ strategy efficiently and sustainably. Together with our partners, we are paving the way for an SDV ecosystem powered by open-source software, from the cloud to the dashboard.”
