Waterloo Engineering researchers have teamed up with the federal government and Magna International to help ensure the safety and security of vehicles as they become increasingly autonomous.
Announced today, a $1.6-million project headed by Sebastian Fischmeister, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, involves the development of theories, methods and tools to produce complex automotive software for connected and automated vehicles.
“The automotive industry faces challenges as modern vehicle features heavily rely on software with new approaches such as machine learning that promise significant improvements,” said Fischmeister, director of the Real-Time Embedded Software Group at Waterloo. “While industry races to automate vehicles, it is vitally important to ensure those vehicles remain safe and secure.”
