We enable safe mobility – today, tomorrow and in the autonomous future.

Safety, new mobility concepts and the competitiveness of the automotive industry are the challenges of our time. All our entrepreneurial achievements contribute to these challenges.

We develop innovative driver assistance and safety systems that are already installed in millions of vehicles worldwide, which significantly increase road safety and protect lives every day. We create products that enable manufacturers, suppliers or engineering service providers to develop innovative features and put them on the road quickly and safely.

We bring many years of experience in pre-development and series projects to support our customers in optimizing their development processes using new, productivity-enhancing technologies. Whether with accident research, biomechanical human models, simulation tools or the productive use of artificial intelligence – we also lay the analytical foundation for automated mobility.

With all this, we are actively shaping the change in the mobility industry and thus the future.

Wir ermöglichen sichere Mobilität – heute, morgen und in der Autonomen Zukunft.

Sicherheit, neue Mobilitätskonzepte und die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Automobilindustrie sind die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Alle unsere unternehmerischen Leistungen zahlen auf diese Challenges ein.

Wir entwickeln innovative Fahrerassistenz- und Sicherheitssysteme, die schon heute in Millionen von Fahrzeugen weltweit verbaut sind, die die Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr entscheidend erhöhen und jeden Tag Leben schützen. Wir erschaffen Produkte, die Hersteller, Zulieferer oder Engineering Dienstleister befähigen, innovative Features zu entwickeln sowie schnell und sicher auf die Straße zu bringen.

Unsere jahrelange Erfahrung in Vorentwicklungs- und Serienprojekten bringen wir ein, um unsere Kunden bei der Optimierung ihrer Entwicklungsprozesse und dem Einsatz von neuen, produktivitätsfördernden Technologien zu unterstützen. Ob mit Unfallforschung, biomechanischen Menschmodellen, Simulationswerkzeugen oder dem Produktiveinsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz – wir legen auch das analytische Fundament für automatisierte Mobilität.

Mit all dem gestalten wir aktiv den Wandel in der Mobilitätsindustrie und damit die Zukunft.

VAIVA Milestones

A history that paves the way to the future.

Green light for strong visions

VAIVA GmbH was founded in 2009 under the name Automotive Safety Technologies, originally as a joint venture between Audi AG and Andata Entwicklungstechnologie GmbH. The start of the virtual design of function algorithms marks the beginning of our core expertise “integral safety.”

On the road to success

In 2011 we initially assume responsibility for development of the warning algorithm for the Audi lane assistant before setting up our accident research activities at a later point. This allows us to utilize our accident reconstruction expertise to draw conclusions regarding the effectiveness of assistance functions.

A broad spectrum for increased safety

Only a few years after our founding, we kick-off our HiL, modeling and simulation activities. We also begin to develop human models for use with concepts such as pedestrian protection.

Turning dangers into control

In 2013, the development of software for local danger identification marks our entry into the area of Car2X expertise. We also put our first function algorithm test bed into operation in order to validate airbag activation.

Safety in series production

We deliver the production software for the first generation of a “safety computer” that Audi deploys in several of its models. Meanwhile, we can also analyze the effectiveness of driver assistance systems in various Audi brands with our software.

Constantly looking forward

2015 marks another big success for the team as our development activities in the area of predictive collision warning and avoidance and side protection hit the streets after being validated.

A demonstration of series production

At the Berlinale, we showcase our expertise in the area of functions development and integration with an autonomous demo vehicle. But that’s not all. Even on the streets, VAIVA innovations such as our “pre-sense” functions package are also being employed in growing numbers of vehicles.

Virtually experiencing development success

We make great strides in the direction of virtual development, testing and validation with the introduction of the “Virtual Test Drive”. Later in the year our innovative intersection assistant, among other developments, hits the market.

Award-winning development

In 2018, multiple awards and an excellent NCAP rating offer a testament to our outstanding performance. The team is really delighted, because it shows how valuable our developments are and motivates us to take further strides.

Machine Learning by doing

We build our very first test vehicle, equipped with LiDar, radar and cameras, to generate data and experiences for our machine learning practice. We also present additional Car2X functions and celebrate our 10 year anniversary.

Challenge accepted

The first year of the pandemic obviously presents major challenges for us and our customers. We nevertheless – achieved all important milestones, audits once again confirm our automotive grade process maturity and we lay the groundwork for effective and employee-friendly remote work models.

VAIVA reloaded

2021 is all about even more focus, operative excellence, expanding our capabilities (perhaps together with you?) and continuing to grow the company. After all, we want to offer you the work environment you need to be successful and happy… 😊

New platforms, new responsibilities, new brand

We are expanding our unique value proposition within the services network of the VW Group and further establishing ourselves as a strong and preferred partner in our area of focus: ADAS, AD & Safety. Projects such as the concept phase and series implementation of active safety functions are essential for the development and successful realization of the VW Group’s future platforms.

Portfolio boost for sustainable growth

In 2023, we launch our Tech & Implementation Advisory business to help our customers set up the right processes and use the right technologies with our knowledge and skills "from the engine room". In addition, we are starting to develop our own products and present the first proof of concept of ICASIS in autumn.
