Luxoft Holding announces the acquisition of Objective Software, a provider of software development services and IP based solutions for autonomous vehicles, Advance Driver Assisted Systems, high-accuracy positioning, innovative mobility and smart city applications. Objective implements its advanced technology solutions in the automotive sector, with a focus on connected cars and autonomous drive services for leading Original Equipment Manufacturers and suppliers. This acquisition expands Luxoft's ADAS, Autonomous Drive and Connected Mobility practices and illustrates a commitment to meet the growing demand for these services. Upon completion of this transaction, Luxoft gains access to a range of IP-based solutions developed by Objective, including a tele-operated driving platform, cloud-based autonomous car-sharing, automotive cybersecurity solutions and a Lidar-based automated parking scanner. These solutions, combined with Objective's domain expertise, will enhance Luxoft's design, development and implementation of next-generation software that empowers our clients to succeed in the mobility revolution. Given close synergies with the company's service-led model, backed by in-house application development, the company anticipates opportunities to significantly scale Objective's existing projects in autonomous driving and connected mobility. In particular, the acquisition further strengthens the company's presence in Munich where we intend to expand software development services for highly automated driving with OEMs and Tier1s, thereby delivering software effectively across the full value chain.
