Development of a Modular Autonomous Vehicle Software Platform with Advanced CI/CD Capabilities

The client faces difficulties in managing complex autonomous vehicle software codebases, hindering collaboration among multiple teams and external partners. They require an efficient way to refactor, modularize, and share code, as well as to deploy software across diverse hardware platforms seamlessly.

A mid-sized company focused on developing autonomous vehicle technologies, seeking scalable software solutions to facilitate collaboration, code management, and cross-platform deployment.

• Refactor and modularize existing autonomous vehicle software code to enable easier management and collaboration.
• Develop a scalable code sharing system supporting multiple development teams and external collaborators.
• Implement cross-platform deployment capabilities to adapt software seamlessly to various hardware devices.
• Establish continuous integration (CI) pipelines to streamline development workflows and facilitate database management.
• Support integration with state-of-the-art automotive development tools and frameworks.

• Code refactoring and modularization to break down monolithic systems into manageable components.
• Code sharing and collaboration interfaces supporting external and internal teams.
• Cross-compilation infrastructure to enable deployment across multiple hardware architectures.
• Automated continuous integration pipelines for building, testing, and deploying autonomous vehicle software.
• Version control integration ensuring seamless code management and collaboration.
• Containerization using Docker or equivalent technology for consistent deployment environments.

• Version control systems (e.g., Git repositories)
• Automated build and testing pipelines
• Hardware deployment targets
• Data management systems for vehicle telemetry and databases

• System scalability to support multiple development teams and extensive codebases
• High performance CI/CD pipelines with minimal build and deployment times
• Secure code sharing and deployment processes adhering to automotive security standards
• Reliability and fault tolerance in cross-platform deployment processes

The implementation of this modular, scalable autonomous vehicle software platform is expected to significantly reduce development time and complexity, improve code collaboration across teams, and enable rapid deployment across diverse hardware systems. This will facilitate faster innovation cycles, improved software quality, and enhanced ability to meet evolving automotive industry standards.
