In the realm of autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems (AV/ADAS), automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier 1 suppliers, and independent software vendors (ISVs) all process vast amounts of data recorded by test vehicles in the field. That recorded data can reach up to 300 TB per vehicle per day. When the recorded data is […]

AWS re:Invent 2024 unveiled game-changing innovations powering the automotive future – autonomous driving breakthroughs, connected vehicle insights, generative AI assistants, sustainable supply chains, and legacy system modernization.

Background Autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) require the processing of large and complex workloads in near real time. These workloads typically include tasks such as object detection and classification, lane detection, sensor fusion, path planning, and decision-making. The data from various sensors needs to be processed rapidly to enable the vehicle to […]

Enterprises today are continuing to explore new solutions to increase efficiency, particularly around process automation. That efficiency is pertinent to multiple industries, but it is especially notable in the automotive sector. Automotive research and development (R&D) teams need to address costly, time-consuming, and error-prone processes, for example, in generating request for proposal (RFP) documents. The […]

The need to manage data and software products at scale has become essential with the rise of generative artificial intelligence (see AWS Executive Insights, 2024), the disruptive transformation from hardware- to software-defined vehicles (see Boston Consulting Group, 2021), and the shift to service-based business models (see McKinsey & Company, 2021). This blog post introduces the […]

As the world becomes increasingly more digital and connected, trucks, buses, vans, and specialized vehicles are evolving into sophisticated software-defined machines.

Compared to the passenger car industry, commercial vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) need to deal […]

It’s no secret that most new cars are connected. But connected car capabilities have come a long way: from an OnStar button almost three decades ago, to in-vehicle internet connectivity, to the multitude of information and entertainment options that modern cars provide today. And yet, we are still at the beginning of this road, with […]

Automotive companies such as OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and fleet owners encounter unique challenges in their connected software development and distribution. These challenges include the time-consuming nature of hardware-dependent testing, the high complexity and cost associated with over-the-air (OTA) solutions, and difficulties in sourcing a skilled workforce due to the industry-specific niche of in-vehicle software […]

Modern trucks come with a variety of equipment for the buyer to choose from. The truck configurator helps the seller to configure the truck with the right capabilities according to the customer’s needs. The configuration is a critical part of the sales process. In this blog, we explain how MAN Truck & Bus SE (MAN) […]
