Auburn Hills, MI headquartered Nexteer Automotive announced its intention to open a Software Center in India. This Center will be the latest addition to the company’s global software team that operates under one digital roof with locations in Saginaw, U.S.; Tychy, Poland; and Suzhou, China. The Center will focus on ‘downstream software production and validation ensuring quality and compliance with regulations.’
Nexteer is scouting locations in India for its Software Center and will continue investing in software capabilities over the next several years. Geoff Krieger, executive director of Electronic Systems and Software, Nexteer Automotive said, “It’s all about safety and performance. As vehicle technology evolves to include varying levels of advanced safety features and increasing levels of autonomous driving, our steering software ensures the safety net is ‘always on’ in our Steer-by-Wire and Advanced Electric Power Steering Systems. In addition to our hardware redundancies, our software is built for simultaneous, multi-path processing to strengthen this safety net.”
Nexteer says some 14.3m lines of code are required in Nexteer’s SbW; and 4.3m lines of code required in Nexteer’s EPS – compared to 400,000 lines of code required in the first space shuttle!
