The Problem

Traditional SDV Development is Broken

Legacy platforms create bottlenecks that cost time, money, and developer talent

⏰

Glacial Development Cycles

Traditional platforms require 6-12 months for simple features. Complex toolchains, fragmented ecosystems, and legacy architectures create endless delays.

Average: 8 months per feature
📚

Steep Learning Curve

Developers spend 3-6 months learning proprietary tools and undocumented APIs. Knowledge is tribal, scattered across wikis and word-of-mouth.

90+ days to productivity
🔒

Vendor Lock-in Prison

Proprietary platforms trap you with expensive licensing and zero portability. Migration costs can reach millions with 2+ years of engineering effort.

$2M+ migration costs
💔

Developer Experience from 2005

Clunky IDEs, inconsistent APIs, painful debugging. Modern developers expect better tools and workflows.

60% developer churn
🔧

Integration Nightmare

Connecting different ECUs requires expertise in CAN, SOME/IP, DDS, and dozens of other protocols. Each domain speaks a different language.

40% of dev time on integration
💸

Astronomical Costs

Large teams maintain complex platforms. Licensing fees compound yearly. Time-to-market delays cost millions in lost revenue.

$5M+ annual platform costs

Developer Experience

Beautiful, Intuitive APIs

Write less code, accomplish more. Jidos SDK makes complex automotive tasks simple.

🚗 Subscribe to Vehicle Signals

Access any vehicle data with type-safe APIs

import { VehicleDataBus } from '@jidos/sdk'; const vdb = new VehicleDataBus(); // Subscribe to speed signal vdb.subscribe('vehicle.speed', (speed) => { console.log(`Current speed: ${speed} km/h`); }); // Multi-domain access made simple const signals = await vdb.get([ 'powertrain.engine.rpm', 'chassis.steering.angle', 'adas.camera.front' ]);

📡 Inter-ECU Communication

Seamless messaging across the vehicle network

import { CommFabric } from '@jidos/runtime'; const comm = new CommFabric(); // Publish with QoS guarantees await comm.publish({ topic: 'adas/collision_warning', payload: { severity: 'high', distance: 15 }, qos: 'realtime' // <100µs latency }); // Protocol abstraction - works with CAN/Ethernet comm.subscribe('sensor/lidar', (data) => { processPointCloud(data); });

🔄 OTA Updates Made Simple

Deploy updates across your fleet effortlessly

import { OTAManager } from '@jidos/platform'; const ota = new OTAManager(); // Create a campaign with staged rollout await ota.createCampaign({ name: 'ADAS Feature v2.1', target: 'fleet:production', rollout: { strategy: 'staged', stages: [5, 25, 100] // percentage }, rollback: true }); // Monitor deployment status ota.on('progress', (status) => { console.log(`Updated: ${status.completed}/${status.total}`); });

🛡️ Built-in Security

Enterprise-grade security without the complexity

import { SecurityService } from '@jidos/platform'; const security = new SecurityService(); // Automatic mTLS for all communications await security.enableMTLS({ certPath: '/secure/certs', autoRotate: true }); // HSM-backed encryption const encrypted = await security.encrypt( sensitiveData, { backend: 'hsm' } ); // Secure boot attestation const attestation = await security.attest();
