Michael Fait, Head of Software-Defined Vehicles
Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) represent a prominent trend aimed at offering car customers continuous innovations and enjoyable feature updates throughout a vehicle's lifespan. This trend has become a cornerstone in the automotive industry, driving OEMs to pursue top-tier functionalities, ensuring customers stay at the forefront of automotive technology. However, realizing this vision presents substantial hurdles. Overcoming these challenges demands the implementation of cutting-edge architectures and methodologies, enabling swift, robust, and cost-effective software updates while upholding the highest standards of safety and security. Safety and security go beyond mere software attributes; they are foundational, system-level properties that demand meticulous consideration during the early stages of vehicle architecture design.
