RTI Connext Drive at CES 2025: The Leading Communication Framework for Accelerating SDV Development

Used by Over 20 OEMs with 10+ Programs in Production, Connext Drive is Road-Proven and Safety-Certified Throughout the World

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – Dec. 11, 2024 – Real-Time Innovations (RTI), the infrastructure software company for smart-world systems, will exhibit at CES 2025, held January 7 – 10, in Las Vegas. At booth #5768 in the LVCC West Hall, RTI will showcase Connext Drive®: The leading production-grade, safety-certified communications framework for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Its data-centric approach enables OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to decouple applications from hardware, simplifying integration and enhancing security. 

Today, the automotive industry faces the dual challenges of a software-defined future shaped by surging technology complexity and the transition to a central compute model. Connext Drive is the solution to simplify and streamline development for next-generation vehicles. Based on the Data Distribution Service (DDS™) standard, Connext Drive enables seamless integration across diverse vehicle platforms without rewriting or custom code, accelerating product time to market. It also reduces development cycles by empowering developers to write applications once and deploy them across vehicles and entire fleets, with future-forward compliance to next-generation platforms—independent of the underlying architecture.

At Booth #5768 in the LVCC West Hall, RTI will showcase Connext Drive through a live demonstration of an adaptive headlamp system powered by Ansys simulation software and NXP GoldBox 3. The demo highlights key capabilities including:

• Simulation: Connext Drive integrates with market-leading simulation and gaming systems to enable early testing, with or without hardware.
• Prototyping: Quickly create new concepts with off-the-shelf hardware, reusing the same code created for production.
• Production: Use the same software to move from early stage development to fleet using    automotive-grade hardware without custom coding.
• CI/CD: Identify in-vehicle and V2X issues rapidly by accessing real-time vehicle data for continuous improvement and digital twin simulations.
