Automotive OTA Software Updates and Data Management for Connected Cars

Leveraging vehicle connectivity

Connected vehicles are increasingly enabled to receive remote over-the-air (OTA) software updates and transmit diagnostic and operational data from on-board systems and components. By leveraging vehicle connectivity in this way automakers can significantly reduce recall expense, improve cybersecurity response time, increase product quality and operational efficiency, and deliver post-sale vehicle performance and feature enhancements.

Managing increasing complexity

The benefits of automotive OTA are clear. What’s not so clear is how to manage the increasing complexity of executing OTA software updates and data management for millions of vehicles around the world—efficiently, reliably, and securely—as requirements transition from single ECUs like head units to multiple ECUs like gateways, sensors, and processors powering safety and highly critical systems and components throughout the vehicle.

Multi-ECU OTA Software, Data Management, and Automotive Cybersecurity

Connected vehicle OTA is much more complex than other consumer “devices” like smartphones and set-top boxes. That’s because vehicles are sophisticated machines with hundreds of components from a multitude of suppliers—and they’re getting more complex as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-everything (V2X), artificial intelligence (AI), and autonomous features proliferate.

Airbiquity addresses this complexity with OTAmatic®: An industry leading multi-ECU OTA solution that securely orchestrates and automates software update and data management campaigns while also meeting the unique requirements of automotive.
