Elektrobit and Mobileye have announced the integration of EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications into Mobileye Drive, a system designed for Level 4 autonomous driving. The platform will serve as the technical foundation for vehicle manufacturers and robotaxi vendors.

The collaboration utilises Elektrobit’s safety-compliant operating system (OS) to provide features and field updates for Mobileye’s self-driving architecture.

EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications is an open-source OS solution assessed for compliance with automotive functional safety standards. It has received a technical assessment for ASIL B and SIL2 by TUV Nord, based on ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 standards.

The solution allows manufacturers to use Linux in high-performance computing (HPC) domains, specifically for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AV). By utilising open-source software, the companies aim to leverage transparency and innovation speed compared to proprietary systems.

Mobileye Drive is designed to automate vehicle types for applications including ride-pooling, public transport, and goods delivery. The system is powered by the EyeQ System-on-Chip (SoC) and utilises AI-driven computation.

The technology is intended for operation without human intervention within defined areas. Mobileye Drive is currently undergoing testing in locations across Europe and North America, drawing on the company's deployment history in approximately 230 million vehicles globally.

Maria Anhalt, CEO, Elektrobit, said, “Our industry is at a pivotal moment, with carmakers, Tier1 suppliers, and technology companies increasingly joining forces to advance autonomous driving. Working with Mobileye and opening up our cooperation on EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications reflects our commitment to practical, safe, and scalable innovation. Together, we are helping pave the way for the next generation of reliable autonomous driving systems”

Johann ‘JJ’ Jungwirth, Executive Vice-President Autonomous Vehicles, Mobileye, added, “Working together with software innovators in the automotive field like Elektrobit is a key factor in expediting the mass-production of vehicles equipped with the self-driving system Mobileye Drive. Our customers expect to deploy AVs in large numbers in the upcoming years, increasing the importance of system stability and reliability.”

LG Innotek has expanded its partnership with Zoox to supply camera modules for the serial production of its purpose-built robotaxis. The agreement marks an extension of the multi-year relationship between the two companies as Zoox scales up its autonomous vehicle manufacturing.

It was last year, Zoox opened a serial production facility in Hayward, California, to manufacture its robotaxis and launched a ride-hailing service in Las Vegas.

As per the agreement, LG Innotek will supply high-resolution automotive cameras as part of the robotaxi's sensor suite, which provides 360-degree coverage through overlapping fields of view.

The camera modules feature five fields of view depending on their mounting positions across the vehicle. Built with optical design technology adapted from mobile camera modules, the units are waterproofed to operate under varied environmental conditions. The components are currently being fitted to Zoox robotaxis as part of the vehicle's core perception hardware system.

CarYaar Auto Private Limited, a DPIIT-recognised technology startup, has announced the appointment of Sahaib Singh as its new Co-Founder and Head of Technology. The company, which operates within India’s fragmented car servicing ecosystem, is focused on integrating transparency and digital trust into the automotive aftermarket. Singh’s arrival marks a pivotal moment for the firm as it works to expand its technological infrastructure and formalize a sector traditionally characterised by informal practices.

Bringing over a decade of experience as a full-stack technologist across mobility, freight and artificial intelligence platforms, Singh will now spearhead the company’s technology strategy and product development. His leadership comes at a critical juncture as CarYaar advances its integrated digital platform, which aims to seamlessly connect car owners, workshops and other stakeholders within the automotive service network. The company is prioritising practical solutions over complex enterprise systems, developing a mobile-first, offline-capable and WhatsApp-native interface to ensure accessibility for multi-brand workshops and customers alike.

Under Singh’s technical direction, the platform is being tailored to serve three distinct user groups with specific operational tools. Workshops are equipped with digital job cards, photo-based inspections, parts tracking and billing systems, while service advisors and managers receive web-based applications for estimate creation and analytics. For car owners, the service enables booking, real-time job tracking and digital payments through WhatsApp, eliminating the need for a separate application. The overarching goal is to use technology not merely to digitise existing processes but to fundamentally enhance the relationship between vehicle owners and service providers.

CarYaar’s model emphasises transparency through features such as real-time photo documentation, pre-approved estimates and digital billing, offering customers clear visibility into their vehicle’s service journey. Currently operating with a network of certified empanelled workshops in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, the startup is actively building a broader technology-enabled ecosystem that includes multi-brand services, roadside assistance and spares management. This strategic expansion reinforces the company’s commitment to developing simple, accessible and genuinely useful technology for the Indian workshop environment.

Joel Daniel D’Souza, Co-Founder & Director, CarYaar Auto Private Limited, said, “Sahaib brings a strong combination of technology depth and experience across mobility and emerging technology platforms. As we scale CarYaar, technology will be central to how we connect customers and workshops, create transparency and bring greater efficiency to the entire ecosystem. His leadership will be critical as we move from building the foundation to scaling the platform.”
