HL Klemove Infineon SDV Autonomous Driving Partnership

HL Klemove Infineon SDV Autonomous Driving Partnership was formally announced as South Korea’s HL Group–backed autonomous driving specialist HL Klemove entered a strategic collaboration with German semiconductor leader Infineon Technologies AG to shape the future of software-defined and autonomous vehicles across global markets.
The HL Klemove Infineon SDV Autonomous Driving Partnership is designed to co-develop a new software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture along with advanced autonomous driving technologies that can support next-generation mobility platforms. Both companies will focus on integrating intelligent software management with high-performance semiconductor solutions.
HL Klemove Infineon SDV Autonomous Driving Partnership and SDV Architecture
A core objective of the HL Klemove Infineon SDV Autonomous Driving Partnership is to overcome the growing complexity of vehicle software by shifting toward a centralized SDV structure. This architecture replaces traditional function-based distributed control with zone-based control that manages physically grouped vehicle systems.
Key advantages of this SDV approach include:

• Centralized management of multiple electronic control units (ECUs)

• Reduced wiring and lower hardware complexity

• Faster software updates and improved system reliability

• Higher operational efficiency for in-vehicle computing

This transformation allows automakers to handle software more efficiently while improving scalability and performance.
HL Klemove Infineon SDV Autonomous Driving Partnership for ADAS and Sensors
Under the HL Klemove Infineon SDV Autonomous Driving Partnership, both companies will jointly develop several critical autonomous driving and sensing technologies. These solutions are designed to support the data-intensive requirements of modern driver-assistance and automated driving platforms.
Planned technology areas include:

• Zone control units for SDV-based vehicle platforms

• ADAS and camera systems built on in-vehicle Ethernet

• High-resolution, next-generation automotive radar

• Real-time data processing for safety-critical driving functions

These developments aim to improve vehicle perception, decision-making speed, and overall driving safety.
Commercialization Focus of the HL Klemove Infineon SDV Autonomous Driving Partnership
Beyond research and development, the HL Klemove Infineon SDV Autonomous Driving Partnership also targets the commercialization of real-time data processing and sensing technologies. By combining Infineon’s semiconductor expertise with HL Klemove’s autonomous driving software and systems integration, the partnership aims to bring scalable SDV and ADAS solutions to global automakers.
For HL Klemove, this collaboration strengthens its position in the competitive SDV market while accelerating the rollout of autonomous driving platforms. For Infineon, it expands its footprint in advanced automotive electronics, radar, and Ethernet-based vehicle networks, reinforcing its role in the evolving mobility ecosystem.
