Donut Lab unveiled its modular technology platform, featuring a library of compatible components, at CES 2025. These include an electric motor, battery pack, and on-board vehicle computer. The components work together seamlessly, requiring no manual integration, Donut Lab said.
New Software Layer Unveiled at CES
At CES, Donut Lab revealed its upcoming software layer for the Donut platform. The layer aims to speed up vehicle software development and improve safety. It features a no-code environment, enabling software logic for cars and drones to be created with a graphical user interface. This approach reduces errors, increases safety, and accelerates software development.
Advanced AI and Future Software Solutions
“Although the physical components of the Donut platform, such as the motor and battery pack, are already revolutionizing the automotive industry, a completely new software layer has also been part of the plan from the very beginning,” said Marko Lehtimäki from Donut Lab. “With the help of an intelligent software layer, we can automatically integrate physical components, but in addition to this, we are now developing future software development solutions that will make vehicle development significantly more efficient and agile.”
Unique Collaboration Automates HMI Development
Donut Lab said it envisions a dynamic ecosystem of technology partners to foster innovation. A major step is the collaboration with Qt, an international software company.
At CES, Qt introduced its Qt Accelerate solution, automating HMI (Human-Machine Interface) development. This technology will integrate into the Donut modular technology platform.
“With the help of Qt Accelerate, the development of HMI interfaces will become automated and significantly more efficient,” said Petteri Holländer, senior VP, ventures, Qt Group. “The technology to be integrated into the Donut platform will recognize the vehicle configuration and will be able to create an HMI that matches the vehicle’s actual features. This takes place completely automatically and therefore requires no manual work.”
