Why Rust?
Fundamentally transforming the safety and quality of vehicle software
A significant portion of vehicle software defects originate from memory errors. Traditional C/C++ platforms rely on runtime testing and static analysis to manage these issues, but that is not a fundamental solution. PARA introduces Rust's safety guarantees to vehicle software, eliminating defects at the development stage and reducing recall risks after production. Since it supports the standard AUTOSAR Adaptive interface as-is, you can migrate platforms while keeping your existing development assets and workflows.
Reduced Post-Production Defect Risk
Memory bugs such as use-after-free and buffer overflow are blocked at compile time. Fewer critical defects discovered at runtime means lower risk of recalls and emergency OTA patches.
Stability in Multi-core HPC Environments
The compiler prevents data races. Reliable operation without concurrency bugs even in complex multi-core ECU environments, reducing verification costs and timelines.
Safety Without Performance Compromise
Rust's zero-cost abstractions maintain runtime performance equivalent to C/C++. No need to upgrade hardware specs or sacrifice performance for safety.
Advantages for Functional Safety Certification
Language-level defect prevention reduces the safety cases that need to be demonstrated during ISO 26262 ASIL certification. Expect fewer safety defects and shorter certification timelines.
Software Platform for High-Performance Vehicle Computing
PARA is a vehicle software platform designed for high-performance ECUs including Vehicle Computers (VCU), AD/ADAS, and automotive HMI. It supports flexible inter-application communication based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and complies with the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform standard. By providing the standard C++ ARA interface (ara::), existing AUTOSAR-based applications and development environments can be used without any changes.

The R25-11 Rust version has completed Rust implementation for 5 core modules (core, exec, log, per, com), with remaining modules transitioning to Rust sequentially. All modules have been validated through numerous domestic and international preliminary development and PoC projects with the R20-11 C++ version.
What Sets PARA Apart
Value that existing platforms cannot provide
Industry's Only Rust Core
The only vehicle software platform with a Rust-based core. Language-level memory safety is a fundamental differentiator that no other platform can offer.
Diverse Communication Protocols
From SOME/IP, DDS, Zero-copy IPC to Eclipse Zenoh — choose the communication method that fits your project requirements. E2E Protection and TLS security are also supported.
AI / ROS2 Integration
Integrate Docker-based AI/ML workloads directly into the vehicle platform through Container Manager. Seamlessly connects with autonomous driving development environments through ROS2 integration.
PAIO Design Tool Integration
Handle everything from system design to code generation and manifest creation in the PAIO design tool. Eliminate the gap between design and implementation.
Applied Across Various Vehicle Architectures
VCU & Zonal Architecture
Implemented SOA-based communication between ADAS, IVI, and ZONE ECUs centered around the Vehicle Computer. Applied as the core platform in centralized vehicle architecture transition projects.
OTA Software Update
Built a remote software update environment for entire vehicles through UCM and OTA Client. Validated safe update workflows through State Management integration.
AI with Container on HPC
Implemented integration between Docker container-based AI inference applications and AUTOSAR services. Validated flexible deployment of in-vehicle AI workloads in HPC environments.
BMS on SOA & Simulink
Performed SOA architecture migration of legacy BMS based on MATLAB/Simulink. Secured migration cases leveraging existing model-based design assets.
ZONE ECU with Signal-to-Service
Implemented S2S gateway converting CAN-based legacy signals to Ethernet SOA services. Also demonstrated ROS (DDS) protocol conversion, validating data exchange across diverse communication domains.
Global SDV API Compliance
Executed projects addressing SDV API standards across regions including China's CAAM and Japan's OSDVI. Met diverse global regulatory requirements with a single platform.
