Vehicle digitalization needs advanced, safety-critical software development practices and skills that are hard to acquire. Our professionals can help you create unique solutions – whether the vehicle is a car, a bus or even a truck.
Our services for software-defined vehicles
Software-defined vehicles are the next major evolution in the automotive industry. Unikie collaborates with global leading OEMs to master automotive disruption in electrification, digitalization and autonomy. With embedded software engineering in our core, our expertise will help automotive industry to productize vehicles with:
- Improved safety via sophisticated ADAS features
- Increased comfort through immersive infotainment systems and connectivity
- Proactive and effective maintenance via real-time sensor fusion and telematics capabilities
- Create value and new functionalities with over-the-air updates.
SDV’s software and hardware architecture tends to be incredibly complex, often comprising multiple interconnected software platforms distributed across as many as one hundred electronic control units (ECUs). Unikie’s services and expertise cover all key SDV’s architectural layers: Applications, Services (for ADAS/AD and instrumentation), Core (Embedded OS), and Hardware.
Automotive Applications
Unikie has extensive competence and experience in various frameworks, apps, tools and design levels. Combined with agile development and DevOps, our experts are a powerful source of experiences created on Android Automotive.
Unikie is Epic Games Preferred Software Service Partner for Unreal Engine to support OEMs to adapt and enable Unreal Engine in production HMIs. We have strong experience of production level HMI projects, including:
- 2D/3D HMI development
- Multi-screen UIs, HUD implementations, and augmented experiences
- System performance, stability, and usability optimizations including parallel computation
- Camera, multimedia and audio applications
- OTA pipelines

Instrumentation Services, embedded OS & ADAS
Unikie’s expertise covers generic instrumentation services that are generally related to a vehicle’s functionality, but don’t typically require direct intervention from a driver such as ADAS.
Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) software stack may become complex, when new HMI platforms are based on single computing resource (SoC) that use virtualization to run separate virtual machine instances – for example for mission-critical automotive functions (ADAS and instrument cluster) and less essential systems such as infotainment (Android Automotive). Unikie works with multiple global OEMs to minimize usability bottlenecks, further optimizing the overall performance, system stability and power consumption by maintaining critical safety and security requirements.

Automotive Hardware Layer
Unikie helps to run realistic use case specific workloads in target SOC platforms to benchmark and compare their competitive performance and usability. For example:
- Navigation and Bluetooth audio parallel usage
- 3D graphics overlays in real-time camera feed
- 3D/2D UI/UX over Hypervisor virtualization
As a concrete example, OEM’s internal R&D can prioritize its effort on pushing the limits in the latest production models as their primary focus. In parallel, Unikie ensures OEM’s competitive HMI solution to its legacy production platforms or builds the initial POCs for next generation HMI platforms.
Unikie can be your virtual development team and scaling partner for the industry and customers where your own focus and capabilities are limited.

Automotive Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity has become a critical concern in software-defined vehicles. The key solution for safety and security concerns is Unikie’s expertise to optimize and adapt virtualization through Hypervisors in SDVs.
Virtualization enables the isolation of critical systems and data, and therefore ensures that a potential breach in one part of the system doesn’t compromise the entire vehicle. In addition, virtualization allows more flexibility to add security features such as intrusion detection systems and secure boot mechanisms.
