Qt and TomTom

The digital cockpit embodies the future of driving – and for it to look and feel the part, it needs to be immersive, connected and seamless. That’s where Qt comes in.

Over one million developers around the world rely on the Qt framework. Its framework simplifies the creation of cross-platform UI applications that share a consistent aesthetic and similar functionality on a wide range of devices – from wearables and mobile devices to desktops and, of course, in-vehicle systems..

Because of this cross-platform architecture, Qt technology communicates with all the components that make up the TomTom Digital Cockpit – regardless of their underlying software – enabling advanced 2D and 3D graphics on every display in the cockpit. As an optimized UI creation environment for designers and developers to collaborate efficiently, Qt Design Studio enables the automatic conversion of graphic designs into fully functional, ready-to-deploy UI applications.

Qt technology, combined with the TomTom Digital Cockpit’s modular, highly customizable framework, gives carmakers complete control over the vehicle HMI (human-machine interfaces), empowering them to deliver state-of-the-art digital driving experiences unique to their brand.
