Frequently asked questions
Why hire an automotive software developer instead of industry-agnostic service providers?
Unlike the majority of service providers, automotive software developers possess knowledge of industry-specific standards and practices like ISO 26262 and ASPICE. They understand vehicle architecture, real-time systems, and in-car communication protocols (e.g. CAN, LIN). When it comes to interface design, they prioritise not only usability, but also compliance with HMI guidelines.
What is your technology stack?
Our main stack covers a broad range of technologies, though we are not limited to them. For automotive software, we use embedded C++, RTOS, and platforms like Android Automotive OS, along with communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet. In mobile development, we work with Native Android, iOS, and cross-platform frameworks such as Flutter and React Native. For frontend/backend development, we normally use React, Angular, Node.js, .NET, and Python.
Do you work with emerging technologies like AR, VR, and IoT?
Yes. We understand that today’s automotive innovations rely heavily on advanced tech. Our team has practical experience with many of these technologies and constantly adapts to evolving needs. Where we lack specific expertise, we collaborate with our partners to ensure high-quality outcomes and speedy development.
How do you test software developed for vehicles?
Testing begins with Electronic Control Units (ECUs), where software undergoes unit, integration, and system tests using tools like CANoe and Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations. Next, it is tested on vehicle prototypes and later on production-ready vehicles. These testing processes can be carried out independently by the OEM or in collaboration with the Bamboo Apps team.
Do you implement cybersecurity practices?
Yes, we integrate cybersecurity into every stage of development. This includes adhering to secure coding practices and implementing robust encryption, authentication mechanisms, and regular vulnerability assessments.
How can I get cost estimation?
Provide us a detailed project scope, including functionality, integration requirements, and target platforms. We will analyse your needs and provide a customised estimation based on complexity, development time, and resources needed.
When is outsourcing automotive software development 100% beneficial for a client?
You should definitely consider outsourcing when you need rapid prototyping; when the project is short-term; or when you lack specialised expertise or technologies in-house. It is also a great idea when you need a fresh perspective to solve complex problems or drive innovation. Besides, outsourcing helps you manage risks, particularly when on-time delivery is critical.
