About This Interview
As part of our MWC 2026 coverage, MarkLines conducted interviews with companies showcasing the future of connected mobility, edge computing, and intelligent vehicle technologies. At this year’s event, we spoke with Andrei Kholodnyi, Principal Technologist at Wind River, to gain deeper insights into the company’s work in next-generation 5G enabled connected vehicle platforms.
Wind River, a long-established leader in intelligent edge software, is playing a key role in enabling cooperative safety functions for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). At MWC 2026, the company demonstrated an advanced C-V2X sensor-sharing use case powered by 5G and mobile edge compute, highlighting how real-time environmental data can be exchanged between vehicles to enhance driver awareness and support safety-critical decision making.
The showcase reflects Wind River’s broader mission: providing reliable, high performance software infrastructure—including cloud native platforms and real time operating systems—that underpins the growing ecosystem of connected, automated, and AI-enhanced vehicles.
