The Foundational Vehicle Software Platform (FVSP) is a pre‑integrated, safety and security‑certified commercial platform from QNX and Vector that simplifies software integration, reduces complexity, and shortens your time‑to‑market.
Outdated architectures and processes result in software timelines that exceed 40 months.
Up to 40% of development budgets are consumed by integration, testing, and validation.
Tightly coupled hardware‑software stacks limit flexibility, increasing integration costs and the likelihood of software‑related recalls.
A common platform is essential to unify development workflows and foster collaboration across geographically distributed teams.
Misaligned middleware and OS layers increase latency and CPU load, limiting responsiveness and compute efficiency across SDV applications.
FVSP eliminates the hidden cost and risk of stitching software together. By providing a unified, pre‑integrated software foundation built on proven QNX and Vector technologies, you can avoid the complexity of integrating the underlying stack. Instead, your teams can focus on what matters: delivering the innovative, consumer-facing applications that build brand loyalty and differentiation.
Unlike general‑purpose operating systems retrofitted for vehicles, FVSP is purpose‑built to meet the safety (ISO 26262) and security (ISO 21434) demands of modern SDVs, right out of the box.
Save months of effort and substantial financial investment with a foundation that is pre‑integrated and designed to ensure compliance with safety (ISO 26262) and security (ISO 21434) standards, delivering faster time‑to‑market and reducing costly rework across the development lifecycle.
Achieve operational efficiency with an optimized platform. Our integrated approach significantly reduces latency and CPU load, enabling high‑performance vehicle communication, which leads to faster decision-making, quicker reactions, and improved vehicle safety and control. Lower system load optimizes system resource consumption and frees up processing power for critical tasks.
Drastically shorten your integration, testing, and validation cycles. Our common, supported, and continuously evolving production‑grade baseline allows your teams to focus on developing value‑add features, not integrating foundational software‑unlocking cross‑team efficiencies and alignment.
OEMs and Tier 1s gain direct access to the foundational platform software decisions source code, enabling intellectual independence and governance. This open ecosystem enables shared innovation, architecture standardization, and helps reduce the technical debt accumulated through collective expertise.
Deploy software rapidly across ECUs and vehicle lines with a consistent, reusable platform. FVSP creates a unified foundation across models and domains, reducing duplication, simplifying maintenance, and lowering long‑term costs. This accelerates innovation while keeping integration effort low.
Our modular architecture provides a complete stack of foundational software, middleware, and services. The platform offers standard APIs, reference architectures, and a clear migration path from individual QNX OS and Vector middleware components, supporting a wide range of hardware targets.
