The Qt Company, the leading global provider of software technology, announces that Stellantis, the global automaker and provider of innovative mobility solutions works with Qt for the development of their current in-vehicle HMI systems across its portfolio of iconic European car brands. The project, which began in 2018, will see the Qt technology used for the development of HMI enhancements for six million cars per year, deliveries started end 2021. This includes technical and stylistic upgrades to the HMI across all screens within the car, including cluster, head up display and infotainment.
Qt provides the ability to implement sophisticated technological improvements, including real time 3D effects, into HMI to meet the ever-evolving demands of the automotive industry and Brand differentiation. In addition, Qt was leveraged across entire design workflow to close the gap between developers and designers to allow for faster and easier development lifecycle.
“The design department works with Qt for the development of our in-vehicle HMI systems”, said Laurent Nicolas, Senior UX Expert. “Qt allows us to prototype, test, iterate and deliver our HMIs very quickly thanks to cross-platforms support and advanced user interface. Qt Design Studio and latest UI rendering solutions help designers, ergonomists and engineers create rich and tailored UI according to each brand specific UX markers”.
