AUTOMOTIVE
Automotive cockpit built with Qt framework
Automotive cockpit for the revolutionary and innovative electric vehicle for an R&D company. Our team of experts used the Qt framework to develop this project, which consisted of three independent displays with different features. Learn about the creative process from concept to implementation, demonstrating our technical and design expertise.
Somco's responsibilities
- Somco provided comprehensive services, including design, GUI, and backend development using the Qt framework and its modules such as Qt Quick, Qt Positioning, Qt Serial Port, and more.
- The vehicle developed by our customer had three independent displays located behind the steering wheel. Somco was responsible for the implementation of the smart navigation layout and special connectivity protocols to move around the software using special pads on the steering wheel.
Customer's feedback
Somco produced and delivered a fully functional platform, much to our delight. The team was highly productive and responsive, and internal stakeholders were particularly impressed with the vendor's high-quality services and collaborative approach. Kamil Grassman - Head of R&D at Cloud Best
Why Qt for this project?
Let's have a look at why the Qt framework makes sense for this kind of project.
- Rich UI development - Qt enables advanced HMI design with QML, Qt Quick, and 3D elements, plus Qt Design Studio for converting Figma designs directly into QML.
- Qt Automotive Suite adds specialized modules and tools for secure, embedded digital cockpits, including App Manager, Qt IVI, and Safe Renderer.
- Easy connectivity implementation - Qt’s built-in modules - Network, Serial Port, CAN Bus, MQTT, Bluetooth - simplify inter-system communication and reduce time-to-market.
