Experts from various leading technology companies provide insights into what an SDV is, the implications for the industry, and the current state of the ecosystem. 💡A Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) allows for continuous upgrades and new user experiences throughout its lifecycle. This transformation involves redefining vehicle architecture, integrating advanced software like AI, and shifting business models. The current state of the ecosystem shows OEMs taking greater control of software development and demanding more from suppliers. Challenges include complex hardware-software integration and evolving supply chains, but the future is promising with innovations in tech infrastructure and market differentiation. 💡Read the full article by Ann Mutschler at Semiconductor Engineering 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gVMf6iaa Follow our page Start With WCPGW for more insights and updates. 🔔 #AutomotiveInnovation #SDV #TechTransformation #FutureOfCars #AutoTech #SoftwareDefinedVehicle #SmartCars #AutomotiveTech #startwithwcpgw #wcpgw #infosec #technology

With a few swipes and pinches of the fingers, a perfectly formed silicon wafer pops out of a machine. The wafer—used to power any number of electronic functions—is a figment of virtual reality in this case, as is the production process and the pristine laboratory where it’s made. Tech Brew got a demo of this “virtual twin” technology during a visit to French multinational software company Dassault Systemès. More here on how the auto industry is leveraging this technology to reduce cost and bring products to marker faster: https://lnkd.in/g5Jvsdhz

Our latest automotive innovation is bringing the possibilities of #AI to your car with enhancements like 3D mapping and multiple displays. Learn how we’re driving the industry forward with silicon separation. https://intel.ly/4a7WSsY #ElectricCar #Tech #InformationTechnology #ITandSoftware

🚘 CES 2024 highlighted the major #automotive trends that included extensive #electrification, AI integration, hydrogen fuel cells, and innovation in #voiceAI and speech recognition. The event showcased great advancements in mobility, from flying cars to generative AI. Since then, automakers have been continuously introducing updated in-car voice assistants with ChatGPT and other AI tools. As the usability of voice assistants increases, it becomes essential to ensure that they work in multi-passenger and noisy environments. 🗣️ To address this issue, Kardome Mobility was developed. Its purpose is to enhance #voicerecognition in cars while also reducing design, hardware, and installation costs. Kardome Mobility can capture up to six voices over three rows with one mic array in the overhead cabin. 💡Learn more about Kardome Mobility here: 👉👉 https://bit.ly/3EoD1Zc Read the full article for insights into the future of automotive technology👉 https://bit.ly/49rhOez #AutomotiveIndustry #Infotainment #VoiceAI

#AI is revolutionizing every industry in exciting ways! @Intel Corporation is accelerating automotive innovation for a safer and more reliable driving experience with the introduction of silicon separation (which enables a direct path, bypassing the hypervisor, and opens up additional performance within the software).

More thoughts from #ces2024, this post on Seeing Machines (SM). SM has such a huge tech lead over the competition that it doesn't exhibit on the show floor, instead giving private demonstrations in a suite. I am one of not many people that has actually seen the demo in full, and it was a privilege to be invited in. The company has a vastly different approach to PR and comms than some of its competitors, because the tech speaks for itself. Case in point: #Guardian Gen3, which was launched at CES. Put alongside the CAT mining product (DSS) and Guardian Gens 1&2 shows the 20 years engineering development of SM. Gen3 is a 1-box solution with IR optical path, ECU and 4G modem integrated together. I have held it, it is impressive, and is obviously made by a tier-1 #EMS manufacturer, probably within the Celestica or Flex families. This is a very serious product which is clearly intended for high volume production and marks a step-change from Gen2. The first application is "after-manufacture" to meet Europe's #GSR. When #OEMs talk about "series-production" it means an assembly line, with vehicles being made in series. Each is built in stages as it progresses down the line, and at the end the finished product rolls off. "Factory-fit" refers to technology installed on the assembly line. So for automotive, #DMS could be factory-fitted in the instrument cluster, steering column, or mirror, in a module designed and pre-built by a tier-1. But in commercial vehicles (trucks, busses and coaches) there simply isn't the economy of scale to amortize the engineering costs of integrating the DMS into another module. An exception would be an extremely lean organization with a strategic focus on DMS for commercial vehicles, but the main DMS suppliers are set up for automotive. The solution? Design, test and validate a 1-box product which is installed after the truck leaves the assembly line ("after-manufacture") but before it leaves the factory. That's what SM has done and that's how Gen3 meets type approval. This represents a huge shift in supply-chain planning and logistics for SM, and it is assumed the OEM customers will place after-manufacture orders with the EMS provider, which will ship product directly to them. This will take some time to perfect, which is probably why SM is saying the short-term focus for Gen3 is after-manufacture. But give it maybe 12-18 months and the assumption is Gen3 replaces Gen2 as the aftermarket product too. SM has designed Gen3 to play its trump card. The hardware meets type approval and regulations for #distracted and #drowsy driving to comply with GSR. But with a 4G modem, every box can still connect to the Guardian service. Thus SM is in the early stages of transitioning to becoming a high-volume software-as-a-service #SaaS company, ironically just at the very moment its #automotive DMS business is set to hit volume production. With GSR coming in to effect, 2024 looks to be the year when DMS finally starts to really happen.
