IAV Software Systems & Connectivity

Software Systems & Connectivity

We combine automotive know-how with IT expertise. The future of mobility is characterised by highly automated and autonomous driving, connectivity as well as digital, networked systems and mobile services. The automotive and IT worlds are moving closer together. However, solutions from the IT world cannot simply be transferred to the automotive cosmos. With more than 1,200 specialists for end-to-end mobility solutions and over 25 years of experience in both worlds, IAV offers a unique range of expertise.

Connected Systems Architecture & Integration

In the midst of networked mobility, we bring complex functions into series production – while meeting all requirements regarding security, new features and update frequency. With our in-depth systems engineering know-how, we are your partner for the implementation of software-based systems and services – in the vehicle and beyond. Our experts also support you in the conception and application of basic technologies such as core services, middleware solutions, network and performance computers, IoT and edge computing.
