Sonatus Joins SOAFEE to Accelerate the Evolution of Software-Defined Vehicles

Industry-led collaboration intends to pioneer broad adoption of a cloud-native approach to automotive system development

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonatus, a global leader in software-defined vehicle technology, today announced it has joined The Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge (SOAFEE), a collaboration defined by automakers, semiconductor suppliers, open source and independent software vendors, and cloud technology leaders. The goal of the project is to deliver a cloud-native architecture enhanced for mixed-criticality automotive applications, with corresponding open-source reference implementations to enable commercial and non-commercial offerings.

The power and potential of SOAFEE lies in the diverse perspectives and expertise of its members, which include ARM, AWS, Bosch, Cariad, and Woven Planet. Sonatus brings a unique approach to software-defined vehicle development to the group, underpinned by its team's experience across both the IT and automotive industries.

"Our mission at Sonatus is to empower automakers with complete control over the architecture needed to build and operate software-defined vehicles, which aligns closely with SOAFEE's objective," said Jeffrey Chou, Co-founder and CEO of Sonatus. "We're proud to join SOAFEE and bring our expertise in software-defined technologies to the community to help accelerate the digital transformation of the automotive industry."

Sonatus and SOAFEE have shared beliefs in the value of open source software and the potential of service-oriented architectures to transform how automakers approach software development.

"Perhaps the biggest benefit of software-defined vehicles is the ability to enhance their functionality and add new features post-production; service-oriented architectures built for seamless integration will allow OEMs to do that much faster," said Yu Fang, Co-founder and CTO of Sonatus. "We're excited to lend our software-defined technologies expertise to SOAFEE and champion the next era of automotive software innovation."
