Arizona Tribune - Momenta, XHEART, and QNX Build an Autonomous Driving Platform Certified to Global Safety Standards

Integrating Momenta's full-stack autonomous driving solution, XHEART X7 automotive-grade SoC, and QNX OS for Safety, built on QNX® SDP 8.0, the three collaborators are delivering a production-ready solution designed to help automakers accelerate deployment while meeting global functional safety standards.

Certified to ISO 26262 ASIL D, this solution enhances driving safety and intelligence, and gives OEMs a functionally safe foundation for vehicles destined for stringent markets, such as those requiring compliance with Europe's UN R171 (DCAS).

"The global scale for Physical AI demands safety first. Through our collaboration with QNX and XHEART we are proud to deliver a production-ready system built to one of the highest global safety benchmarks, empowering automakers to confidently introduce intelligent vehicles to markets everywhere," said Huan Sun, SVP of Momenta.

"Momenta and XHEART are helping enable the next generation of Physical AI technology, and QNX is proud to be the Safety-Certified Operating System underpinning that future," said Grant Courville, SVP of Products and Strategy at QNX. "This collaboration with Momenta and XHEART strengthens our position as a trusted foundational software provider for the world's leading autonomous driving systems."

"Building next-generation autonomous driving requires AI-native silicon," said TL Lee, CEO of XHEART. "The XHEART X7 SoC, paired with QNX's certified OS and Momenta's algorithms, gives OEMs the performance, safety and scalability required for global markets."
