GlobalLogic Nautilus Platform

The Nautilus platform from GlobalLogic addresses limitations of Android and Linux for automotive infotainment systems. It utilizes a Xen hypervisor to run multiple operating systems on a single system-on-a-chip, including a reliable Linux/RTOS for vehicle systems and a sandboxed Android for infotainment. This hybrid architecture allows developing Android-based infotainment without compromising vehicle functionality, security, or reliability. The Nautilus platform also provides solutions to accelerate development like automotive-grade Android and innovative user interface concepts.
