Across the entire automotive supply chain, software-defined vehicles appear to be following a clear path to future-proof architectures; as a consequence, the standardization of software platforms has become strategically important.
Opening the source code and API would allow more developers to share their experience and increase the quality of their applications, with a high number of programmers validating and debugging the software.
Software architecture and standardized platforms are fundamental to simplifying vehicle functional complexity and keeping up with the pace of technology and innovations in adjacent industry domains.
Today is the right time to invest in software skills because all vehicle architectures are, or will be, software-defined. A company that does not master software needs to invest now. Software already is where added value in several applications is found.
Moreover, considering geopolitical maneuvers and countries’ strategic planning, the private and public sectors are unlocking huge amounts of funding to support unprecedented need for investments.
