Qt in the Driver’s Seat

We believe that technology should provide opportunities to innovate for the in-vehicle future. Qt Automotive Suite introduces new and enhanced components to build the car interior more efficiently in terms of BOM and time-to-market. 

Qt is designed to create great user experiences for all the screens inside your car. It's a completely independent technology evolving within a strong open-source ecosystem. With Qt Automotive Suite you retain ownership of your own innovations.

Customized for Automotive Needs

Qt Automotive Suite is a product offering built on top of the Qt toolkit – framework and tools. It provides a comprehensive infrastructure of libraries, tooling, hardware adaptation, and ready-made solutions to let you, as Automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, focus directly on building innovative user experiences rather than technology infrastructure.

Digital Cockpit

  • Unified UX across all screens
  • Multiple screens on a single SoC without the need for a hypervisor
  • Scalable systems with single entry-level screens or multiple high-end HD screens 
  • Create your companion apps and put your cockpit in your pocket.

Cluster

  • High-performance 2D and gorgeous 3D UIs
  • Fast boot time
  • Razor-sharp needles
  • Integrated safe rendering for certified functional safety

IVI

  • Extension to multiple screens
  • Responsive multi-touch experience
  • Multi-process & multi-app architecture
  • Easy 3rd-party software integration
  • Easy integration with external input, gestures and hardware.

HUD

  • Keep your eyes on the road with augmented reality 3D UI
  • Low-latency UI
  • Small footprint, fully data-driven 3D rendering engine.

Key Features

Because Qt (with the Qt Safe Renderer) supports technologies like mixed functional safety levels and virtualization, it’s now practical to drive multiple screens and functions with a single powerful CPU. This allows for a one-box solution (which can replace several discrete components) to drive an instrument cluster, infotainment, and rear-seat display – saving cost and overhead.
Qt Application Manager

Built on top of Qt Wayland Compositor, it brings a modern multi-process architecture to IVI HMI development.

Separating the HMI into different functional units allows independent teams to develop and test both separately and simultaneously, reducing project risk and shortening development time. Splitting the UI into smaller applications also makes it easier to do system updates; smaller pieces of code are touched and the OTA updates are smaller.

QtIVI

The QtIVI module provides C++ classes and QML types for accessing vehicle features, as well as a core API for implementing new IVI features manually or using an auto generator.

In addition to the tooling and core APIs, the module also provides an extendable set of reference APIs for automotive features. It can be used to develop automotive applications and to provide automotive features to Qt-based applications in a structured manner.

Qt 3D Studio

With Qt 3D Studio, you can rapidly build and prototype high quality 2D and 3D user interfaces. Use the built-in material and effects library or import your own design assets from popular design tools.

Qt 3D Studio is an artist-centric tool designed for designing and building rich interactive interfaces. Though there is a strong emphasis on 3D content - all objects are placed in three dimensional space - it is not a 3D content creation tool or a drawing program, though it uses 2D images and vectors heavily. Studio is a compositing tool.

Qt QML Live

Qt QML Live is a local and remote Qt Quick live reloading system. It allows you to change your QML user interface source code and view the result in almost real time.

Often in user interface development you need to edit the placement or animations of the user interface to provide the exact user experience envisioned by the design team. With QmlLive the scene is automatically reloaded when a document change is detected.

GammaRay

This introspection tool augments conventional debuggers by understanding the implementation of Qt, allowing it to visualize application behavior on a higher level, especially with complex frameworks like scene graphs, model/view or state machines being involved.

GamaRay is available for all major platforms and supports remote debugging, especially valuable for embedded systems development.
