OEMs to Rely on Tier Suppliers' Embedded Hardware and Software Solutions Until Capable of Delivering In-house Standardized OS for Future Software-defined Vehicles
The automotive industry is undergoing a major transition and redefining the vehicle development process. To include numerous technologies tied to the concept of connected, autonomous, shared, and electric (CASE) mobility, OEMs have chosen to adopt the software-defined vehicle (SDV) development approach. With the SDV approach, OEMs extend features and function that they can update throughout the vehicle life cycle, which provides opportunities for recurring and sustainable revenue.
To achieve an SDV, OEM are redesigning vehicle electrical/electronic (EE) architecture by consolidating functions in domains and zones. They are making huge investments in software development, and specifically in a base software platform, that will enable them to extend software-driven features and functions called the vehicle operating system (OS).
