Tata Technologies, a global engineering and product development digital services company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) today with TiHAN, IIT Hyderabad, to collaborate in the areas of Software Defined Vehicles (SDV) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). As Automotive companies strive to develop SDVs with autonomous technologies, they look for innovative solutions and accelerators that help them reduce technology incubation time and cost. Tata Technologies and TiHAN will collaborate towards solutions that address these specific challenges being faced by companies in developing SDVs that incorporate the latest technologies. The collaboration will specifically focus on:
- Development of platform/s and Proofs of Concept (POC) that optimize product development timelines.
- Enabling upskilling and hands-on training for Tata Technologies engineers at TiHAN in new technology areas.
