SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 20, 2016) - Real-Time Innovations (RTI), the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connectivity platform company, today announced it is hosting a complimentary webinar, "The Low-Risk Path to Building Autonomous Car Architectures," in partnership with QNX, a provider of real-time operating systems aimed at the embedded systems market.

Developing an in-car architecture is perhaps the greatest technical risk for any company starting an autonomous car program. Architecture selection is a long-term decision that must last for at least a decade and impacts performance, features and cost. With this major investment in the development of new, complex software for a connected and autonomous car, how do automotive companies choose the right path forward?

Bob Leigh, Director of Market Development at RTI and Thomas Bloor, Automotive Business Development Manager at QNX, will discuss best practices for automotive and commercial autonomous architecture. This pair of industry experts will examine methods behind building systems to meet ISO-26262 safety requirements with minimal effort, by leveraging integrated safety certified software. They will delve into various ways of using architecture and communication frameworks that can span networks -- from in-car embedded systems to backend cloud networks -- to accelerate development and unlock the value from automated and connected cars.
