Until recently, the automotive industry was primarily focused on design, development of electronics and mechanics, and manufacturing. Nowadays the software component of new vehicles has become a large portion of the development cost, driven by adding numerous new sensors, intelligent algorithms, very powerful and specialized processors and a highly complex user experience to the vehicle. In addition, requirements for high-performance and real-time processing as well as the vehicle’s distributed architecture bring challenges, but moreover supply chains further complicate development.
Supporting initiatives around establishing software standards is an important goal.
