A new-age software first approach to support the transformation to SDA.

Learn about the automotive industry’s software-first approach to software-defined embedded systems and the latest SDV architecture and the products and services that support its development with Full Stack Engineering.

With the transformation to SDA, where systems such as SDV are software-defined architectures, manufacturing is shifting from hardware-defined to software-defined. Software-defined systems enable control of hardware dependencies, improve profitability through high software reusability, and enable updates over the network, dramatically increasing functionality and convenience.

Software development supports this evolution, and software reusability, including OSS, is important for using safe and secure platforms and increasing development efficiency. -In addition, the construction of a software factory that realizes an efficient development environment through test automation and CI/CD is once again attracting attention. These are all considered as a software first approach, and the ability to develop new software is the key to gaining market share in the EV era.

The recent announcement by Volvo to delay the full EV transition is said to be due in large part to this delay in software development: SDV first, software first.
