Real-Time Innovations (RTI) provides infrastructure software for smart-world systems. Their Connext software framework is the leading platform for building intelligent distributed systems, enabling the integration of advanced sensing, fast control, and AI algorithms. With 2,000 customer designs, RTI excels at getting customers to production.
Autonomous Vehicles
RTI Connext Drive is the sole standard-based framework supporting autonomous vehicle development from prototype to production. This safety-certified connectivity framework meets current and future technical and non-functional requirements within a scalable, interoperable system.
Their RTI Connext Drive® 3.0, a flexible, future-proof, and data-centric communication framework for software defined vehicles (SDVs) expedites time to market by providing the first platform-independent adherence to the highest functional safety standard, ISO26262 ASIL D, and bridges the platform gap between DDS, AUTOSAR Classic, AUTOSAR Adaptive and ROS 2.
Connext Drive ensures seamless communication from ECUs to the Cloud, meeting demanding use cases like scalable sensor fusion through Quality of Service parameters, peer-to-peer connectivity, and efficient data handling.

Scalable without servers or brokers, Connext Drive suits both simple applications and complex distributed environments. Its flexible data model supports application evolution across domains and time, fostering collaboration among OEMs, Tier-1s, system integrators, and other suppliers.
Moreover, Connext Drive facilitates off-vehicle communication over Wide-Area Networks and offers direct connectivity with ROS 2, AUTOSAR Classic, and AUTOSAR Adaptive.
Software-Defined Vehicles
The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and software-defined vehicles is disrupting the automotive industry more than autonomous vehicles.
SDVs are currently reshaping the industry, demanding flexible, scalable, and compatible vehicle designs that solve communication challenges. EV manufacturers require clear safety and cybersecurity pathways for their next-gen SDVs.
Leading automakers rely on RTI technology for essential vehicle communications, from zonal architecture to the cloud, in both traditional and innovative SDV projects.
As the industry evolves, RTI Connext Drive offers groundbreaking connectivity software for cutting-edge SDVs, supporting on- and off-vehicle applications. RTI accelerates SDV development with its interoperable, secure, and scalable communication framework.
