Luxoft Announces Acquisition of Symtavision

Reports say that Luxoft has successfully acquired Symtavision, a leading provider of automotive software tools and consulting services focused on architecture optimization, scheduling analysis and timing verification. These tools and services are intended for planning, enhancing, and verifying embedded, real-time systems within all modern vehicles.

Building on its patented intellectual property, Symtavision’s tools focus on Under the Hood (UTH) technology around progressively critical software integration and timing analysis in the chassis, body, powertrain, and driver assistance domains as well as in-vehicle networking.

This acquisition perfectly fits into Luxoft’s solution-based end-to-end offering strategy by expanding its embedded software expertise into a quickly growing automotive segment. By tradition, the company has focused on the cockpit engagements including telematics, autonomous driving features, navigation, infotainment, and Human Machine Interface (HMI).

Given that all the elements of cars are moving quickly from being hardware to software-defined, Luxoft envisages upcoming demand to be connected with UTH-focused opportunities and solutions addressing a variety of challenges related to under the hood and back-end (cloud) system design, development, management and maintenance.

With the increasing adoption and implementation of Driver Automation and Advanced Driver Assisted Systems (ADAS), the demand for tooling and expertise around real-time systems design and development creates a budding opportunity.

The automotive sector is now shifting into the era of autonomous driving and ADAS with every component of the car playing important role in security, safety, driver experience and vehicle efficiency.

Luxoft eyes a number of opportunities to create advanced solutions for each of these segments.
