The situation surrounding the automotive industry has changed significantly from the past.

Today’s rapid technological change has enabled electrical/electronic systems (E/E systems) to take over the role previously played by hardware and provide customers with a new mobility experience. At the same time, the vehicle development process is becoming more complex than ever before.

The electrification of the vehicle has resulted in longer electrical wiring and a significant increase in vehicle weight, and the connected car is packed with more and more features, requiring more bandwidth for the in-vehicle network. As a result, manufacturers are forced to fundamentally rethink their development methods.

The best solution at the moment for manufacturers to gain an edge over their competitors is an integrated E/E system development solution based on model-based methods that comprehensively covers the development of new forms of mobility. It is important to understand the challenges facing product development departments in the automotive industry and the changing trends in the industry as a whole.

At the same time, advanced integrated E/E system development tools are emerging as concrete solutions to overcome current challenges and respond to changes in the industry.
