How the Software-Defined Vehicle Trend Is Transforming Development Processes

A large part of the future value of vehicles is going to be defined by software. While the automotive industry is adopting many development methodologies from the internet and mobile phone industry, it is important to consider safety and security as crucial requirements. Highly automated build and test systems—software factories—are a common practice, but what is necessary to make them ready for automotive? Frequent over-the-air updates are key to being able to react to security threats, but what is necessary to ensure that the safety of the vehicle is not compromised as a side effect? In this presentation, see how simulation and Model-Based Design can help in achieving the software quality and security that customers are expecting and integrating with automated build systems to enable the development speed and agility required to fully deliver the promise of software-defined vehicles.
