Vortrag: Success Factors for SDV: Achieve more through collaboration
The goal and purpose of Software-defined Vehicles is to enable swift and continuous availability of new functions and software updates throughout the vehicle lifetime. Hence software complexity will continue to grow, while time-to-market for vehicles needs to be shortened and costs must be lowered. It is obvious that successful transformation towards SDV requires collaboration within the automotive industry. “Collaboration”, however, can have different meanings and is often not defined or simply refers to continue working as before with even closer control of partners. When done right, collaboration helps to master complex technology and shortening development time. In this presentation examples are shown how Continental leverages it’s CAEdge framework to enable collaboration. We are looking at technology, internal and external aspects how collaboration can enable successful implementation of SDV.
