The company
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is one of the Japanese automobile manufacturers, producing and selling vehicles worldwide. Nissan continues to develop innovative technologies, including electrification and ADAS/AD, and in recent years, the company has also focused on strengthening the software that supports these advancements.
The challenge
With the evolution of electrification and ADAS/AD technologies, Nissan faced the challenge of achieving both enhancing software quality and reducing ECU procurement costs. Tier 1 suppliers were required to meet Nissanās specific requirements, and for those adopting the AUTOSAR platform, integration efforts and development workloads were significant. Balancing cost reduction with quality assurance became a key challenge for suppliers.
