Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has partnered with over 15 startups in Bengaluru including Stoneridge, Velodyne and Luminar Tech for developing various technologies and solutions for automotive industry. These ventures are working in areas including lidar and battery management systems.
Stoneridge is a designer and manufacturer of highly engineered electrical and electronic systems, components and modules, primarily for the automotive, commercial vehicle, motorcycle, agricultural and off-highway vehicle markets. Velodyne, a San Jose-based lidar technology company, recently launched a design centre in Bengaluru to drive innovation in lidar sensor and software solutions. The centre is growing its engineering talent team in hardware, field programmable gate arrays, embedded software, board design, systems engineering, ASIC, perception software, functional safety, cybersecurity and other adjacent areas.
TCS 's work around electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs) appears to have gathered pace, particularly after its acquisition of the assets of General Motor’s technical centre in India in Bengaluru in 2019.
TCS is supporting GM in its global vehicle programmes with engineering design services. Over 1,300 of the 2,000 employees in the GM centre had transferred to TCS, including teams focused on propulsion systems, vehicle engineering, controls development, testing, creative design and special projects.
Gopinathan also said that TCS is working with German vehicle technology firm ZF in areas including (advanced driver-assistance systems) 2.5 development, and to address the significant shortage in chipsets, which is one of the biggest challenges that the automotive industry is going through.
