ATS’ open source and open standards-based technology is designed with the intention of allowing auto makers and the broader industry to deliver data, software and firmware to vehicles in a secure, cost-effective and scalable manner.
The solution is aligned with Uptane, the OTA security framework initiated and funded by the U.S.
HT plans to continue developing and offering the solution as a standalone product within its automotive portfolio, while also extending the benefits of the technology to other aspects of its business.
Ralf Herrtwich, SVP Automotive of HT, said: “Data and software delivery is a defining factor for future success within the automotive industry as vehicles are becoming more connected and autonomous. The acquisition of ATS is a hugely important strategic investment for us to complement our portfolio as a premium automotive cloud provider. I’m excited to welcome Armin and his team into the Here family.”
