Major Automotive Manufacturer - Customer Case Study

The software subsidiary of a major automotive manufacturer faced a significant challenge in implementing Android Automotive's Vehicle Hardware Abstraction Layer (VHAL) for its platform. The difficulty was in abstracting complex, non-standard vehicle data types from different OEMs, which was hindering seamless integration with third-party applications. They engaged Tietoevry to conduct an evaluation and find an optimal VHAL solution that would align with their long-term architectural goals.

Tietoevry designed and implemented several proof-of-concept solutions, developing a custom Vehicle HAL and adjusting the application framework and Car Service. Through rigorous testing and analysis against key KPIs, Tietoevry provided the customer with comprehensive data and insights. This objective information empowered the customer to make critical, data-driven decisions for their platform's future development, which is expected to significantly shorten their time-to-market.
