  • Valeo and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announce collaboration to build powerful new digital services for the automotive industry and simplify the development process for automotive engineers to support the revolution of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV)

  • Valeo announces three new solutions, powered by AWS, to accelerate the development of Electronic Control Units for car manufacturers by up to 40% (Valeo Virtualized Hardware Lab), enable end-to-end cloud-based software development and validation of Autonomous Mobility workflows (Valeo Cloud Hardware Lab), and improve the driving experience (Assist XR)

  • Valeo has joined the AWS Partner Network (APN)

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Valeo and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have collaborated to help revolutionize the era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) within the automotive industry. The collaboration between Valeo and AWS helps enable faster and more efficient development, testing, and validation of distributed vehicle software stacks across vehicle domains like Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), infotainment systems, and Autonomous Mobility (AM). It also helps drive the development of new end user functionalities that improve the driving experience. The first three solutions that Valeo will announce during CES 2025 as part of this collaboration are Valeo Virtualized Hardware Lab, Valeo Cloud Hardware Lab, and the assistance system Assist XR.

Valeo has been an industry leader in software and electronics design for more than 30 years and has been at the forefront of the automotive industry's transition to SDVs. To further advance this transition, Valeo has collaborated with AWS to develop powerful new digital services for the automotive industry and simplify the development process for engineers. Valeo will bring its extensive expertise in automotive software development, middleware, software-oriented architecture, and high-performance computing (HPC) for centralized computing architectures. AWS will offer support through cloud services for AI, compute, data management, analytics, innovation mechanisms like "working backwards," as well as reference architectures and solutions for virtual engineering, ADAS, and SDV.

The new solutions offered by Valeo and powered by AWS will support all steps of the SDV transformation along the automotive development chain.

Valeo Virtualized Hardware Lab enables car manufacturers to test software on virtualized Electronic Control Units (vECU) and Sensor Models (VESM), accelerating the development cycle of ECU software by up to 40%. Potential benefits of this flexible development and testing environment include a significant reduction in user development costs, and faster software feature releases. Valeo intends to make the Valeo Virtualized Hardware Lab available on AWS Marketplace in Q1/2025. The solution will allow automotive engineers to deploy vECU and VESM hosted on AWS in a few minutes into any workbench of a customer, globally.
