Cognizant has announced a strategic collaboration with Elektrobit, a leader in automotive software solutions, to integrate Elektrobit’s Software Development Kit (SDK) for the EB corbos AdaptiveCore into Cognizant’s software-defined vehicle (SDV) solution accelerator.
This enhanced SDV accelerator used Elektrobit’s robust Adaptive AUTOSAR framework to enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers to construct scalable, adaptable, and economically viable SDV architectures, thereby expediting development cycles in response to market demands.
Cognizant’s SDV solution accelerator is built with Gen AI-led productivity elements to help automotive companies speed up product development and testing, improve quality, and reduce development costs while managing limited resources.
The solution adeptly integrates signal-based and service-oriented applications into modern electrical/electronic (EE) architecture, including vehicle computers and zonal controllers.
“Cognizant’s collaboration with Elektrobit to integrate its SDK into the SDV accelerator addresses key challenges OEMs and Tier 1s face in their Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) journey,” said Akshat Vaid, Partner, Engineering and Information Technology, Everest Group. “By combining Elektrobit’s expertise in Adaptive AUTOSAR middleware and virtualization with Cognizant’s SDV accelerator, the partnership enables modular development, tackles software complexity, enhances prototyping efficiency, mitigates cybersecurity risks, and streamlines ecosystem orchestration—ultimately improving time to market and competitiveness for customers.”
