This interactive comparison table provides an in-depth overview of leading automotive operating systems (OS) used in modern vehicles. Explore key aspects such as scope (e.g., body control, automated driving, infotainment), supported chip cores (ARM, x86, RISC-V), features (hypervisor support, functional safety levels like ASIL D), middleware (SOME/IP, MQTT, DDS), connectivity capabilities (Bluetooth, Ethernet, CAN), and release information. Data is sourced from official vendor documentation and industry reports as of September 2025. Use the checkboxes below to customize columns and focus on specific OS vendors like Blackberry QNX, Google Android Automotive, Toyota Arene OS, and more. This resource is ideal for automotive engineers, developers, and researchers evaluating OS for embedded systems in cars, trucks, and autonomous vehicles.
Key Highlights: Compare safety certifications (ISO 26262 ASIL levels), real-time capabilities, and integration with ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems). All data is up-to-date for 2025 releases.
