QNX and Valeo have agreed to integrate the QN OS for Safety into Valeo’s new front-view smart camera platform. The platform has already secured design wins with multiple automakers in China and is currently expected to enter production later this year.
The production-ready platform combines QNX’s safety-certified software with Valeo’s extensive expertise in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) including both hardware and full ADAS software stack, giving automakers a scalable foundation for bringing advanced front-view camera capabilities to market.
“Automakers need ADAS platforms that deliver safety, performance and cost efficiency without adding unnecessary development complexity,” said William Dong, Chief Representative of Greater China, QNX. “Valeo’s decision to build their new smart camera platform on QNX reflects the trust that leading companies across the automotive ecosystem place in our safety-certified foundational software. Together, we are providing automakers with a proven path to bring next-generation ADAS capabilities into production more quickly and confidently.”
As vehicles become increasingly software-defined, automakers face mounting pressure to deliver higher levels of safety, performance, and scalability while managing cost and development complexity. Front-view smart cameras are central to this shift, supporting functions such as the detection of vehicles, pedestrians, road markings and traffic signs. Meeting these demands requires not just raw compute power but also a tightly integrated platform that delivers deterministic behavior, functional safety, and reliable real-time performance alongside high-performance AI processing.
By using QNX OS for Safety on the SoC platform, Valeo’s new platform provides automakers with a scalable foundation for deploying front-view camera systems across multiple vehicle programs. The platform is designed to help customers manage development complexity, accelerate the path to production and deliver advanced safety functionality at scale.
QNX and Valeo have worked together successfully for many years, with QNX technology underpinning Valeo solutions across numerous vehicle programs worldwide. This latest collaboration expands that relationship into a new generation of front-view smart cameras designed to meet automakers’ rapidly evolving requirements for safety, performance and scalability.
“Every automaker is taking a slightly different approach to ADAS, so flexibility is key,” said Mr. Song ZHOU, Valeo China President. “By combining Valeo’s experience in camera systems with technology from QNX, we’re giving customers a smart camera platform they can shape around the needs of their own vehicle programs. We’re excited about what this can enable as automakers bring more advanced ADAS features to the road, with the shared goal of supporting safer driving environments.”
