Pune, India Date: May 10, 2023: Tata Technologies, a leading global engineering and product development digital services company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with TiHAN IIT Hyderabad, to collaborate in the areas of Software Defined Vehicles (SDV) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). As Automotive companies strive to develop Software Defined Vehicles with Autonomous technologies, they look for innovative solutions and accelerators that help them reduce technology incubation time and cost. Tata Technologies and TiHAN will collaborate towards solutions that address these specific challenges being faced by companies in developing software-defined vehicles that incorporate the latest technologies. The collaboration will specifically focus on
· Development of platform/s and Proofs of Concept (POC) that optimize product development timelines.
· Enabling upskilling and hands-on training for Tata Technologies engineers at TiHAN in new technology areas.
This collaborative approach to innovation will help drive the future of automotive technology and contribute to a more sustainable, connected, and technologically advanced industry.
Reflecting on the collaboration with IIT Hyderabad TiHAN, Warren Harris, MD, and CEO of Tata Technologies, said, “Automotive companies rely on Tata Technologies to address their product development challenges and enable them to conceptualize, develop and realize better products that are safer, cleaner, and connected. Through this partnership with TiHAN, IIT Hyderabad, we will collaborate and support innovations in the area of SDVs and associated technologies that help automotive manufacturers develop and manufacture great products. We will leverage our 25+ years of automotive domain knowledge and access to customers across the globe to help TiHAN-IIT Hyderabad develop the most comprehensive set of solutions and accelerators for the automotive industry and upskill engineers on emerging technologies.”
Prof. B.S. Murty, Director, IIT Hyderabad, expressed his congratulations to both TiHAN-IITH and Tata Technologies on their collaboration and emphasized “There is potential for significant innovation in the automotive industry that can result from this collaboration. We will leverage TiHAN Testbed, a state-of-the-art facility, and the first-of-its-kind in the nation for testing and validating a wide range of use cases of autonomous vehicles. He expressed his confidence this partnership propels progress of innovative solutions for autonomous navigation, with potential global impact.”
Sriram Lakshminarayanan, President & Chief Technical Officer of Tata Technologies, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, ” We can leverage our collective expertise and resources to explore use cases for SDV by adopting modern SoCs (System on Chip), AI (Artificial Intelligence), ML (Machine Learning), OTA (Over the Air) frameworks, and Connected technologies within the realm of Software Defined Vehicles. This partnership will support the creation of solutions in SDVs, reaffirming our commitment to advancing the industry towards a technologically advanced future.”
Prof. P. Rajalakshmi, Project Director, Dept. of Electrical Engineering at IIT Hyderabad, stated, “TiHAN at IITH has been established to focus on the research & development of autonomous & intelligent navigation systems. The partnership with Tata Technologies is set to create valuable collaborative research focusing on innovative smart mobility solutions such as ADAS, and SDVs.”
