Vortrag: The impact of SDV and AI on next-generation products
The advancements, build up and understanding of software in vehicles in the last 10 years towards the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) has opened many opportunities to improve the functionality for end users. Although new to the automotive industry, this platform thinking has been successfully used in various technical fields and industries. We can benefit from its proven advantages in terms of scalability and integration support.

To handle the immense scale of this change, including competencies, supply chain advancements and performance requirements, a few key enablers were needed. These include readily available and high performance SoCs intended for automotive use, advancements in AI/ML, data storage and competence development. By combining these factors, we can change our approach to developing and implementing features. This will also support future expectations for upgradability, reliability, and optimal performance in terms of features and safety in vehicles.

Today we will talk about the key parts and enablers of this transformation with support from the adoption of the SDV and AI/ML.
