Digital solutions, apps, and the like are already fixtures of consumers’ day-to-day lives, and increasing numbers of drivers expect their vehicles to be fully integrated into this smart lifestyle. This requires new connectivity, automation, and personalization functions, more and more of which will be implemented with software. We are convinced that it will take a comprehensive SdV technology platform to create a cross-domain, centralized architecture and reduce complexity in software development and system integration.🤝👩💻 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗱𝗩 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗱𝗩 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 Jochen Breidt! 👥 #ITKengineering #ITKtech #ITKmobility #ITKautomotive #technology #softwaredefinedvehicle

Ready for a technological shift in automotive?

The Future of Software-Defined Vehicles  Historically, vehicles were governed by hardware and mechanics. Now, the software enables most vehicle features. However, a software-defined vehicle will have easily updatable software, allowing almost instant delivery of new functions. The science behind the Software Stack Vehicle operations are currently governed by specific hardware and software layers called software stack. Modern vehicle architecture has too many unique hardware pieces. Future vehicles will have fewer, more flexible hardware components, with capabilities enabled by applications. What changes need to be made Creating software-defined vehicles demands fewer but more powerful electronic control units. Suppliers will need to create transparent and flexible software layers while ensuring safety. Automakers must separate the life cycles of software and hardware and invest more in software maintenance and support. They will need to be organizationally prepared to roll out new software, which isn’t an easy task. The move towards software-defined vehicles marks a major shift in the automotive industry. While still in development, the benefits of easily updatable software and enhanced functionality are promising but achieving the vision will require major changes in vehicle architecture, supply chains, and organizational structures. #SoftwareDefinedVehicles #AutomotiveInnovation #FutureOfMobility #AutomotiveIndustry

#WhitepaperInsights: Unleashing the Power of Software Containerization in Automotive Evolution (SDVs) The shift from hardware-defined to software-defined vehicles is reshaping the very core of Automotive innovation. This transformation is propelling the industry into an era of connected, autonomous, and electric vehicles (#CAEV), offering unprecedented possibilities. Optimizing the #SoftwareDefinedVehicle To fulfill the potential of #SDVs, a harmonious blend of optimized hardware and open software architecture is imperative. The need for flexibility in modifying individual functions without affecting safety-critical software has given rise to a pivotal solution: #SoftwareContainerization. As the automotive world witnesses a surge in software-driven functionality, the hardware architecture is evolving from dedicated electronic control units (#ECUs) to high-performance compute platforms like central vehicle controllers (#CVCs) and open server platforms (#OSPs). This evolution necessitates a departure from monolithic software approaches, paving the way for modularization and abstraction of functions. #SoftwareContainerization emerges as a game-changer by eliminating interdependencies on common software libraries. By allowing independent updates to each function, containerization enables swift, targeted enhancements. This approach not only reduces the size of over-the-air updates but also enhances security and stability, preventing potential disruptions to other critical software components. Containers, lightweight packaging formats for software, introduce a modular approach where each function operates independently. They enable the coexistence of multiple applications in a shared computing environment, fostering scalability, portability, and improved integration of legacy software into next-generation vehicles. #Benefits: From facilitating faster over-the-air updates and increasing portability to adopting modern software methodologies and enhancing coordination across development environments, containers offer a paradigm shift. However, both technical and cultural challenges need to be addressed for widespread adoption. #TheSafetyChallenge Safety-critical automotive software, traditionally static and isolated, faces a new paradigm. Containerization provides a solution by implementing logical boundaries between applications with different safety requirements, safeguarding against unpredictable failures. Efforts are underway to certify runtime environments for containers in automotive safety, with the Open Container Initiative (#OCI) leading the way. Standardization promises increased agility, innovation, cost savings, and quicker time-to-market for OEMs. Check out the whitepaper by Aptiv here: https://lnkd.in/gJppExAM #Automotive #Innovation #Software #Containerization #Mobility #Technology #Whitepaper #Insights

Purpose-driven Hyper-Automation   Many years ago I had the chance to meet Chris Bangle in a personal 1on1, known best for his work as Chief of Design for BMW Group. We´re not talking about new car designs and trends, we talked about the purpose of everything. Not about what we need to do, or must do, or even think what we need to do. More about the things we should do. What is the hidden objective behind when we develop ideas, solution or just solving a problem. How we see “through” a task or challenge to see the actual purpose. The WHY. It was very impressive to learn how Chris makes decisions to make his work more purposeful.   Since that time, my thinking and approach to solving complex tasks or achieving transformational goals has completely changed. And when we talk about #HyperAutomation today, it's the same way. Before we look at the big solution, we need to identify the purpose (Business Challenge, Top-Line Target) between the challenge and the solutions (Hyper Automation Ecosystem). If we understand #AutomationFirst not as a further technological tool, but as the first instrument of corporate development and management, then we understand how a highly available and matured technology ecosystem can be used effectively.   This is our IDEA OF HYPER-AUTOMATION. It describes how we advise and cooperate with our customers and partners, and it is our design guideline for how we further develop our technology - purpose-driven.   #hyperautomation #intelligentautomation #purposedriven #RPA #AutomationFirst #DigitalFirst #CorporateDevelopment #TopLineGrowth #ChrisBangle
