The joint solution integrates Sonatus Collector AI and Sonatus AI Director into Schaeffler\u2019s control units, creating a ready-to-use foundation for next-generation vehicle architectures, and ensuring a faster time to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSoftware-defined vehicles require a robust and scalable hardware foundation,\u201d says Thomas Stierle, CEO E-Mobility at Schaeffler AG. \u201cOur control units run data-driven and AI-based functions within the vehicle, enabling the next generation of vehicle architectures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hardware centralization is the first step; the software-defined vehicle is realized when AI can be running at the edge and when hardware continuously learns and adapts. Together with Schaeffler, we are turning static control units into dynamic, intelligence-driven systems,\u201d says Jeff Chou, CEO and Co-Founder of Sonatus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The solution developed by the partners allows automakers to run and continuously improve key vehicle functions \u2013 such as steering, braking, and energy management \u2013 directly on the control unit. New features and optimizations can be deployed over the vehicle\u2019s lifecycle without hardware changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur central control units are equipped with a pre-integrated software infrastructure that includes solutions such as Sonatus products. This significantly simplifies integration for our customers and helps them accelerate the centralization of their software architecture,\u201d says Rodrigo Peres, Senior Vice President of Business Unit Vehicle and Battery Controls at Schaeffler AG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schaeffler and Sonatus, a leader in intelligence-driven, software-defined vehicle technology, announced a global partnership to bring Edge AI into motion control solution for software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
