Infineon Technologies AG and Kontrol are entering into a strategic partnership to make the future of mobility as both legally compliant and safe as possible.
Kontrol translates and digitalizes complex legal regulations and relevant road traffic standards and regulations into machine-readable language. The company’s KoPilot technology checks whether the integrated driver assistance functions are performing in accordance with the law.
The concept of Infineon’s AURIX microcontroller family with its compatibility and scalability in terms of the processor core, package, safety, and peripherals enables a simple upgrade path. This allows Infineon and Kontrol to provide necessary regulatory updates for their customers at any time, thus ensuring road safety in line with current standards. Together, the two companies can safely integrate the digital driver’s license for autonomous vehicles into intelligent driver assistance systems.
“The software technology from our ecosystem partner Kontrol implemented on the dependable AURIX microcontroller architecture is a step forward to enhance the trust in autonomous driving technology by a deterministic, algorithm-based solution which is able to offer legal based, regulatory boundary conditions for vehicles on the road,” said Lars Wemme, Vice President ADAS, Chassis & EE-Architecture at Infineon.
