Automotive hypervisors are software platforms tailored for the automotive industry, facilitating the virtualization of hardware resources within vehicles. They enable the simultaneous operation of multiple operating systems and applications with varying criticality levels, including infotainment systems, driver assistance systems, and vehicle control systems. Automotive hypervisors ensure isolation and security between these systems, thereby facilitating the efficient and secure operation of complex automotive systems.

The main products of automotive hypervisors include native (bare-metal) hypervisors and hosted hypervisors. Native (Bare-Metal) hypervisors are software solutions that operate directly on the hardware without relying on a host operating system. They offer enhanced performance and efficiency compared to hosted hypervisors. The level of autonomous driving supported by these hypervisors ranges from autonomous to semi-autonomous. These products are distributed through various channels, including aftermarket channels and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), catering to end users across economy vehicles, mid-priced vehicles, and luxury vehicles.
