Discover how innovative approaches to automotive software development can supercharge your ability to deliver and refine SDVs.
With software having become an integral part of both car features and functionalities, consumers expect the seamless integration of their own digital accessories into the driving experience, as well as in-car software that is – and remains state-of-the-art.
This leads to a diverse set of challenges in software development, with longer product lifecycles making ongoing improvements both a necessity and revenue driver. Being able to act fast is important as well: Whenever a new trend comes up, how fast can you react and deliver solutions your consumers are satisfied with?
Automotive software has already come a long way – however, the status quo of automotive software deployment is incompatible with what is needed to retain a competitive edge.
Fast and frictionless deployment of dynamic software products will become one of the most important differentiators for OEMs.
Successfully tackling the challenges that come with this requires not only a performant and reliable hybrid cloud service backend, but also flexibility and fresh approaches.
One such approach is our “Container for Cars” cloud-2-edge-architecture MvP which enabled us to deploy Apple Music to edge devices in under 30 days. It leverages IBM Technology and partnerships with:
and enables deploying and updating any non-critical features, such as Apps, vehicle features and basic ADAS/AD functions.
One important building block that makes the “Container for Cars” possible and effective, is its reliance on Open Source technology. It comes with various advantages over closed systems regarding SDV deployment:
Co-creating novel SDV deployment solutions based on Open Source architecture with a strong task force of developers and experience designers in an agile working environment enables fast innovation – a promising approach on the road to the automotive future.
