Renesas Electronics Enables Security and Safety for Next-Generation Connected Cars With Embedded Virtualization Technology for the R-Car Platform

Software Packages with New Technology Enable Integration of Multiple Automotive Systems

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Apr. 04, 2017 – 

Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced its new software packages for the R-Car automotive computing platform to improve security and safety capabilities for next-generation connected cars. The software packages implement embedded optimized virtualization technology that enables embedded systems to have - in a single system - security features that protect the car from external threats, and functional safety features that assure continued safe operation even in the event of failures.

Safety is a primary concern for the automotive industry. Automotive systems including cloud-connected systems, instrument cluster, and driver monitoring are expanding in number and scale year by year. In addition, the demand for new user experience, such as information sharing and control linked with other systems over multi displays, is increasing. These trends have led to increasing expectations for the integration of automotive systems. For instrument cluster and driver monitoring, support for functional safety is particularly required to safely handle the car even in the event of failures.
