SOFTWARE & CONNECTIVITY

The evolution from hardware to software-defined vehicles is leading to a revolution in advanced
safety, performance and convenience. As As vehicles become more similar to smartphones on wheels, they can communicate with drivers, other vehicles and infrastructure, detect dangers on the road and respond to over-the-air (OTA) software updates from OEMs.

For consumers, the biggest benefits from connected, software-defined vehicles (SDVs) will be even greater safety, convenience and performance – and a driving experience that gets better over time. For OEMs, the biggest benefits will be closer relationships with their drivers over the lifetime of the vehicle and differentiating their brand’s driving and ownership experience.

NEXTEER’S SOLUTIONS

All of our software solutions start with proven, high-quality safety and cybersecurity. Our Global Software Team develops advanced software features with speed, flexibility and seamless integration.

  • ADVANCED STEERING SOFTWARE
    Our steering software enables advanced safety and performance features across all SAE ADAS
    levels – from optimizing steering assist and feel, to enabling low FIT levels and ADAS features
    such as park assist, lane keeping and more.

As experts in steering feel, our software gives drivers an immersive steering experience that makes the vehicle come to life in the driver’s hands. From sporty to luxury, our software translates a vehicle’s brand into something a driver can actually feel. Our steering software solutions
support vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity, OTA updates and crowd sourcing insights.

  • ADVANCED SAFETY
    Steer-by-Brake (SbB) is a software solution that uses the vehicle’s electronic brakes to steer the
    vehicle while also controlling its speed – enabling safety redundancies without the cost and
    complexity of additional hardware.

Our road surface detection software, developed with Tactile Mobility, is another software solution for advanced safety that identifies unsafe road surfaces and gives a “heads-up” to trailing
vehicles via cloud-based communications.

  • VEHICLE HEALTH MANAGEMENT
    Our tire health & parameter detection software, developed with Tactile Mobility, utilizes smart tire
    virtual sensors to monitor tire condition automatically and alert drivers to upcoming maintenance before it becomes an issue.

Vehicle health management solutions like these identify potential issues before it interrupts a
vehicle’s performance – allowing the driver to potentially save time and money and schedule repairs at their convenience. These solutions also potentially reduce an OEM’s warranty costs and
enhance future product development while also fostering consumers’ brand loyalty

  • CYBERSECURITY
    Across megatrends, a common safety requirement underpins them all – cybersecurity. We have
    proactively developed cybersecurity solutions with our OEM customers to ensure that steering
    systems are safe and protected
