Elektrobit and Foxconn partner for smart EV platform
Elektrobit has signed a joint development agreement with electronics manufacturer Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) to create EV.OS, a new AI-centric software platform intended to support software-defined electric vehicles (EVs).
The partnership aims to innovate and bring to market smart automotive platform solutions that simplify the complexity of vehicle systems, minimise the total expense of ownership, and scale production.
The planned smart EV platform will include both hardware and software components. It will also feature a reference electrical/electronic architecture (EV.EEA), a non-differentiating EV operating system, as well as an EV application.
Post-completion, the EV.OS and EV.EEA system is set to become the core infrastructure of the software-defined vehicle (SDV) platform, leveraging the software platform integration offerings by Elektrobit, a German automotive software products and services provider.
This will facilitate the operation of several 'high-performance' and real-time electronic control units (ECUs), while also fostering service-oriented architectures throughout various functional areas.
Additionally, it will include a semantic vehicle application programming interface (API) designed to accommodate third-party applications.
The development of this platform will be bolstered by a continuous integration/continuous testing/continuous deployment (CI/CT/CD) toolchain and a Level three virtualised environment.
Elektrobit CEO Maria Anhalt said: 'Elektrobit has a unique value proposition in automotive embedded software development with regards to both development of our own software products, and integration and homologation of large-scale automotive series projects."
"Our collaboration with Foxconn is another milestone in the evolution of software-defined vehicles. By combining Elektrobit's automotive software expertise with Foxconn's manufacturing and hardware innovation, we are creating a scalable platform that reduces complexity, shortens development cycles and supports future mobility business models.'
Earlier in the year, Cognizant partnered with Elektrobit to advance SDVs' development by incorporating the latter's software development kit (SDK) for EB corbos AdaptiveCore into Cognizant's SDV solution accelerator.

Mom of Toddler Overwhelmed by Mental Load—Then Finds a Eye-Opening Solution
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A mom of two reached breaking point until she had the genius idea to hand over parenting responsibilities to AI. Lilian Schmidt (@heylilianschmidt) posted a clip on TikTok about how she was "fed up" of carrying the mental load solely on her own. The German native, who lives in Switzerland, turned to ChatGPT, not just for support, but also to assume a co-parenting role. Girl, 3, playing with mini cook and stove set. Girl, 3, playing with mini cook and stove set. @heylilianschmidt "It's not that I have to carry everything alone, but I still often feel that way," Schmidt told Newsweek. "Even if my partner and I try to split things 50/50, our brains just work differently." Schmidt, who has a 3-year-old with her partner, shared her daily routine which tired moms will know all too well. "I wake up, try to be present during the morning chaos, jump straight into back-to-back meetings, then race to day care pickup," she said. "Most evenings, I walk through the door with a toddler who's completely overstimulated and needs emotional co-regulation when I'm already running on empty batteries." Schmidt said that her partner is an involved dad, and he is also the default parent for his 14-year-old son from a previous relationship. Schmidt described herself as being "10 steps ahead," especially as the full-time working parents don't have a support system. "Parenting isn't just … changing diapers or school drop-offs," Schmidt said. "It's all the invisible work: the planning, anticipating, remembering, emotional regulating, and making 1,000 tiny decisions every single day." ChatGPT now plans a week of healthy meals her kids will actually eat, writes the grocery list, finds the perfect birthday gift, creates day care and travel packing lists to tick off and, most importantly, helps her brain to switch off. According to Schmidt, the chat bot has lightened the mental load. "My life has gotten 10 times easier and, for the first time in a long time, I feel like I have space to breathe," she told Newsweek. Her clip has gone viral in a matter of days, amassing over 710,000 views. In the comments, it seemed that Schmidt isn't the only mom to rely on AI. "ChatGPT was my doula, patient advocate and now my post c-section advocate. I can definitely add more roles," one user wrote. "Without ChatGPT, I don't know where I'd be," another added. Among the advice on how to navigate toddler tantrums and grocery lists sorted by aisle, Schmidt said that the most important thing ChatGPT has given her is mental relief. "It's my sparring partner when I need to make a decision; my research assistant when I don't have three hours to scroll through Google; and my emotional buffer when I'm about to overthink something," she added. "It's not about doing more or doing it better. It's about doing the same things faster and with help."

Is 16 Old Enough to Race? Porsche Thinks So
Three weeks after you turned sixteen, what were you doing? If you're like me, maybe you were trying to figure out something about a car. More likely, you were fantasizing about your favorite cars while playing Forza or Gran Turismo. What you probably weren't doing was driving an actual Porsche race car on an actual racetrack. But that's exactly what Italian kart and Formula 4 racer Elia Weiss will be doing. Weiss will be driving a 99X Electric in the upcoming Formula E rookie test. The single-seat car, specially designed for Formula E, accelerates from zero to 100 km/h quicker than an F1 car - around two seconds, the automaker says. The rookie test is a race featuring untested, usually younger, Formula E drivers, with the goal of both exposing newcomers to Formula E and gaining valuable experience. Stuttgart is making history by choosing Weiss as their driver, with the second-youngest driver in Formula E history being chosen last year by McLaren, at 17 years old. Considering that 16 is the minimum age allowed by the DMSB, this is an accolade Weiss will hold forever. For reference, the average age of a Formula E driver hovers around 31. Although Weiss may be young, he's got a fair bit of experience making things go quickly around a racetrack. Weiss won the German karting championship title just last year and conducts sim racing tests with OEMs like Audi, BMW, and Porsche. Further padding his resume is his upcoming participation in Italian Formula 4. The rookie says he has already practiced a bit with the Formula E car in a simulator. "I was able to get to know the systems, felt right at home there, and got on really well with the engineers. Other than that, I'm preparing myself as best I can." He goes on to drive home the importance of fitness and strength when piloting the rapidly accelerating Formula E cars. You aren't alone if you're wondering how Weiss got a gig like this. According to The Race, a few Porsche bigwigs noticed Weiss two years ago at the Karting World Cup finals. The publication raises some solid questions, though: most other Formula E rookie test programs are utilizing older drivers, and certainly racers with a few more competitions under their belts. The answer, perhaps, is hidden in comments made by Florian Modlinger, Director of Factory Motorsport Formula E. "The energy management [of Formula E cars] is complex, which means that the mental challenges in particular are incredibly tough in Formula E. This reduces the pool of potential drivers." Thinking about regen and energy usage, according to Modlinger, isn't a skill every racer has. "While he was a guest in our simulator, we were particularly impressed by how he interacted with the engineers," he says of Weiss. He goes on to say that the 16-year-old "comes across as a much more mature racing driver." Experience is just one component of victory on the track. Especially in a budding motorsport like Formula E, there are other variables OEMs and teams need to account for when choosing drivers. All eyes will definitely be on Weiss come the July rookie test, especially with rival teams placing older and more experienced drivers in the same position. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.
