The transition toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) is fundamentally changing how automotive software is developed, tested and deployed.
Webinar: Software Defined Vehicles – The Impact on Automotive Software Development and Test Process
Wednesday, March 25th
10:00 – 11:00 CET (Berlin) / 5:00AM EST (Detroit) / 14:30 IST (Bangalore) / 17:00 CST (Beijing)
15:00 – 16:00 CET (Berlin) / 10:00AM EST (Detroit) / 19:30 IST (Bangalore) / 22:00 CST (Beijing)
However, SDV does not mean rebuilding every software component from scratch. The real challenge is bringing modern, fast, and scalable software development practices from the IT world into an environment shaped by safety-critical requirements, long product lifecycles, and complex system integration.
In this webinar, Wolfgang and Markus share real-life observations and learnings from our global automotive customers, and discuss how organizations can successfully navigate this transformation.
Key topics include:
- Challenges with the traditional V-model – limitations of sequential development processes in a fast-moving SDV world
- Shift Left – more than a buzzword – how earlier integration, testing, and validation help accelerate SDV development while building on existing platforms and legacy systems
- 6 impacts on toolchains – how to enable tighter integration, faster iteration cycles, increased automation, and seamless collaboration across traditionally siloed development, testing, and deployment environments
- The role of Cloud and AI – enabling China-speed development through scalable cloud infrastructure and AI-driven engineering, testing, and validation while maintaining safety and compliance
