Revolutionizing Software-Defined Vehicle Innovation with Wind River Studio Developer Running on AWS

The automotive industry is changing at lightning speed. With electric vehicles, advanced driving systems, and the push for more connected, autonomous cars, it's clear that software is at the heart of this revolution. At Wind River, we're thrilled to be part of this exciting journey, working alongside AWS to transform how cars are designed, developed, and driven.

As vehicles become more autonomous and connected, the need for greater processing power and AI capabilities becomes critical. This is where our partnership with AWS comes into play. Together, we’ve created a seamless, end-to-end solution using Wind River Studio Developer, our DevOps platform for developing and deploying applications from cloud to edge. Now available running on AWS, it brings the best of cloud and edge computing together to accelerate innovation.

Imagine being able to build and test software for cars at cloud scale. With Studio Developer on AWS, that's exactly what our customers can do. Watch AWS Global Tech Lead SDV Stefano Marzani and I discuss here in this video the work we’re doing together with our demo at the AWS Prototyping and Innovation Lab in Silicon Valley, showing just how easy it is to deploy software updates to connected cars. It’s fast, efficient, and built to meet the high safety standards of the automotive world.

One of the biggest advantages of using Studio Developer on AWS is its flexibility. You can scale up or down with compute and storage resources, depending on your project needs. This not only helps optimize costs but also makes sure you’re using resources efficiently. Plus, Studio Developer comes with pre-integrated tools—about 30 of the most popular ones that automotive software developers use worldwide. This standardization helps lower DevOps costs and speeds up development time.

Beyond the basics, AWS offers a wide range of applications and interfaces that integrate with Studio Developer. One standout tool is Amazon Q, a generative AI-powered assistant that helps developers quickly solve problems, generate content, and get the job done faster. It’s part of an automation framework that makes life easier for developers, improving productivity and cutting time to market.

By bringing together the scalability of AWS and Wind River's deep expertise in safety-critical software, we’re setting new standards for the future of mobility. Our work with AWS isn’t just about envisioning the future—it’s about actively building it, step by step, with cutting-edge tools and innovations that are shaping the next generation of vehicles.

Together with AWS, we're not just keeping up with the pace of software-defined vehicle innovation—we’re driving it forward.
