Carota and GAC Research Institute Form Strategic Partnership to Empower Innovation in Intelligent Connectivity
Established in 2006, GAC Research Institute is the technical management department and R&D hub of GAC Group. It is primarily responsible for the product development of GAC's independent brands, such as GAC Trumpchi and GAC Aion, as well as the planning and implementation of new technologies. The institute has built a global R&D network with GAC Research Institute at its core, supported by the GAC R&D Center in the United States, the GAC Europe R&D Center, and the GAC Shanghai Advanced Design Studio. It possesses a comprehensive corporate technical standards system, complete vehicle and core system component development capabilities, and certifications such as CMA (Accreditation for Inspection and Testing Institutions) and CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment). Its overall R&D capabilities rank among the leaders in domestic brands.
Carota has formed a strategic partnership with GAC Research Institute, providing solutions for OTA automated testing platforms (R&D) and remote diagnostics services. Carota's OTA automated testing system hardware includes test cabinets, test benches, and related supporting hardware. It is primarily used to test the functionality, stability, and accuracy of OTA systems in various scenarios, ensuring the system's proper operation and effectiveness.
▲ Comprehensive Overview of OTA Testing Platform (R&D) Business
The OTA automated testing solution supports the following functions:
- Testing the compliance of OTA system functionalities with design requirements.
- Assessing the reasonableness of the processing logic of the OTA system in various scenarios.
- Supporting comprehensive testing and system verification for vehicle-cloud integrated OTA functionality. The automated testing solution enables issue replication and rapid pinpointing; comprehensive test cases allow for quick testing of different plans and configurations.
- Equipped with vehicle-cloud simulation capabilities. Supports simulating the electrical signals of the entire vehicle, including network communication signals, digital signals, analog signals, etc. The solution also invokes the OTA system to upload scripts, select vehicles, issue tasks, and retrieve results in the cloud, thereby forming integrated OTA vehicle-cloud simulation testing capabilities.
Through systematic testing of the OTA system, potential issues and deficiencies can be identified, helping automakers optimize and refine their systems in a timely manner. This ensures that the OTA system can provide users with high-quality, reliable automotive OTA services.
In the face of new opportunities brought by the era of software-defined vehicles, Carota has risen to the occasion, seizing the industry's rapid development opportunities. By integrating its resources and technological advantages, Carota is expanding its presence across multiple fields, continuously driving the extended value of OTA and exploring broader market prospects.
Carota is a global one-stop provider of OTA (Over-The-Air) upgrade and remote diagnostic solutions, as well as Taiwan's largest provider of fleet image management services.
