Why You Need This
Automotive SW Development Faces New Challenges
Are software security vulnerabilities becoming serious risks in the SDV era?
As automotive software connectivity increases, cybersecurity threats are also growing. Memory vulnerabilities in C/C++ are a major cause of security issues.
Do you need to meet both ISO 26262 functional safety and cybersecurity requirements?
You must develop with functionally safety-certified tools while also minimizing security vulnerabilities. Existing C/C++ tools alone are insufficient.
Do you need integration with legacy C/C++ code?
Even when adopting a new language, you can't discard existing code assets. Gradual transition must be possible.
Product Introduction
HighTec Rust Development Platform
HighTec provides the industry’s first ISO 26262 ASIL D certified Rust compiler.
You can develop with the memory-safe language Rust while meeting functional safety certification requirements.
ISO 26262 ASIL D Certified
TUV-certified Rust compiler that can be directly applied to functional safety projects. No Tool Qualification work required.
Memory Safety Guaranteed
The Rust Ownership system prevents memory-related bugs at compile time. Security vulnerabilities like null pointers and buffer overflows are eliminated at the source.
C/C++ Compatible
Integration with existing C/C++ code is possible. New modules can be developed in Rust while maintaining legacy code.
AUTOSAR Integration
Integrates with AUTOSAR Classic stack. Applications can be developed in Rust on top of the RTE layer.

Expected Benefits
Practical Benefits
- Memory Safety Secured
- Rust's Ownership system eliminates memory-related bugs like null pointers and buffer overflows at compile time. Critical runtime errors are prevented in advance.
- Certification Cost Reduction
- TUV-certified ASIL D compiler requires no Tool Qualification work. Can be applied directly to functional safety projects.
- Gradual Transition Possible
- Fully compatible with existing C/C++ code. New modules can be developed in Rust while maintaining legacy code. No need to change everything at once.
- Integration of Security and Safety
- Security and functional safety, previously considered separately, can be approached simultaneously with one language. Rust's characteristics naturally satisfy both requirements.
- Future Ready
- Rust is a language receiving increasing attention in the automotive industry. Building experience now expands options in future projects.
