Demonstrators

From single to multi-vehicle: integrated SDV demos in the lab.

OSxCAR enables realistic, integrated SDV demonstrators — from a single ECU all the way to complete multi-vehicle scenarios. The globally configurable SDVA-Bench makes it possible to replicate vehicle architectures in software and orchestrate multiple virtual or physical vehicles simultaneously.

Thanks to identical binaries across all development and test stages (MIL → SIL → HIL → VIL → production), functions can be executed in the lab exactly as they would run in the vehicle fleet — without physical rebuilds or separate porting efforts. The lab becomes a reproducible, scalable SDV platform: for OEM pilots, supplier integration tests, and the validation of complex, networked vehicle functions.

Single Function & Proof of Technology Available

Demonstrating the technological foundations: the "Same Binary" approach, WebAssembly sandboxing, and interoperability across language ecosystems.

  • Anti-Pinch / Actuator Demo — Identical binary across MIL, SIL, HIL, VIL through to production; demonstrates hardware agnosticism and safety suitability for a safety-relevant actuator. Interactive Demo →
  • Adaptive AUTOSAR + Rust/WASM — Rust and C++ components interoperate via WIT interfaces; a practical fusion/radar pipeline as a live demonstrator.
  • WebAssembly Hardware Agnosticism — The same components verifiably run on Bare Metal, Zephyr, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX — without any code changes.

System-Level & Cross-ECU Demos In Progress

Interaction between multiple components, end-to-end workflow, and secure execution in an integrated setup.

  • Shadow Mode / A/B Testing — Risk-free validation of new functions running in parallel with production software, without hardware or software modifications to the live system.
  • wrStudio + OSxCAR Workflow — Full SDV toolchain walkthrough: from development (ComponentForge) through runtime (LightWeave) to automated testing (RapidTest).
  • Low Latency Networking / Real-Time Switch — 10G Ethernet, CAN, LIN, and USB defined in software and reconfigurable in seconds; latency and throughput measurement included.

Software Defined Vehicle Architecture Bench In Progress

Making virtual and physical vehicle architectures dynamically and remotely reconfigurable.

  • SDVA-Bench (Single Vehicle) — Remotely reconfigurable, OTA-capable, reproducible test environment from MIL to VIL; granular access controls for globally distributed teams.
  • SDVA-Bench Multi-Domain Integration — Integration of additional software stacks: AUTOSAR, ACF, ROS2/DDS, and Zenoh within a shared bench environment.

Multi-Vehicle & Distributed Demonstrators Planned

Interaction between multiple vehicles — simulated or physical in the lab — built on the SDVA-Bench.

  • Multi-Vehicle Interaction Demo — Multiple vehicles or ECU clusters act in a synchronised manner via the SDVA-Bench; foundation for V2X-like scenarios in the lab.
  • Shadow Mode Fleet Demonstrator — A/B comparison across multiple vehicles with consistent data capture; enables fleet-wide software validation without production risk.

AI-Driven Optimisation & Autonomous Network Architecture Planned

Automated optimisation of network load, software placement, and latencies through AI models trained directly on bench measurement data.

  • GNN-Based SDN Optimisation Demo — Graph Neural Networks predict latencies, recommend optimal network paths, and optimise software placement within the SDV network.
  • AI-Driven Architecture Optimizer — Uses bench measurement data, SDN rules, and topology analyses for autonomous configuration of the vehicle architecture.
