Software Defined Vehicle

In the rapidly developing automotive landscape, Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) represent a decisive innovation that combines the flexibility of software development with the robustness of automotive technology.

With the increasing complexity of automotive systems, the use of software to control vehicle functions offers unprecedented flexibility and enables continuous improvement. However, this change comes with some challenges for OEMs and their traditional organization, processes and systems.

With more than 25 years of experience in the mobility sector, we are ideally equipped to support OEMs in overcoming these challenges.

Software Defined Vehicle Report

Autonomous driving and mobility-as-a-service are closely related and will come onto the market together.
This report provides an overview of how this will affect the requirements for connected vehicles and influence the development of the software-defined vehicle.
