L&T Technology Services to train 1,000 engineers on AWS to drive SDV development

L&T Technology Services (LTTS) will train 1,000 engineers globally with vital cloud skills and applications, including Amazon CodeWhisperer, by March 2024 to help them quickly develop software-defined vehicle (SDV) software and applications.

To help vehicle manufacturers worldwide accelerate SDV development, LTTS Tuesday said it uses Amazon CodeWhisperer as the preferred development environment for engineering teams. Amazon CodeWhisperer uses artificial intelligence (AI)-powered code recommendations in real-time to help LTTS engineers rapidly develop smart applications such as driver warnings, automated braking, and steering functions designed to improve a vehicle’s performance on the road.

This will allow fleet managers, maintenance staff, and other stakeholders to interact with and access details of the car via large language models (LLMs) built on AWS, LTTS said.

Leveraging AWS, LTTS said it helps vehicle manufacturers worldwide accelerate the development of next-generation SDVs with tailored safety and security solutions covering the digital cockpit, connected services, and autonomous driving.

LTTS added that it has accelerated the time to launch new products by 25% with virtual workbenches on AWS to develop and test new software for vehicle electronic control units (ECUs), which control a car’s operation.

“As we embrace the power of AI and cloud computing, we’re not just innovating – we’re revolutionizing how we drive. To fuel this transformation, we’re committed to training 1,000 engineers on generative AI with AWS by March 2024, ensuring that the future of mobility is shaped by the brightest minds and the most cutting-edge technology,” said Alind Saxena, President, Sales and Whole Time Director at LTTS.

“As India’s automotive sector races towards modernization, cloud technologies including artificial intelligence are the engine propelling a future of smart, connected vehicles,” said Vaishali Kasture, Director (Commercial Sales) of AWS India and South Asia at Amazon Web Services India Pvt. Ltd. “We’re thrilled to help innovators like LTTS harness the full potential of cloud and generative AI to drive innovation in the industry with a digitally-skilled workforce.”
