Introduction Software is redefining the automotive experience. It is through software that Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can help improve vehicle safety. It is through software that In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems can deliver audio and video infotainment. And it is through software that automotive manufacturers can offer more reliable predictive maintenance to large fleets. Because […]

The automotive industry possesses one of the most complex value chains, with tens of thousands of companies involved in making a car. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) typically lack visibility into their supply chain beyond Tier 2 suppliers and they are often unaware of their products’ journey after they are delivered to third parties, including downstream […]

Autonomous vehicles (AV) must be driven hundreds of millions of miles – and sometimes hundreds of billions of miles – to capture sufficient data that can confidently demonstrate a vehicle’s security on the road. This approach to collecting data, however, sees its applicability hindered by two main limitations: (1) high fleet acquisition and maintenance costs […]

Today’s vehicles are increasingly defined by software and innovative semiconductor technology. This increased software content can bring greater risk of failure, whether within the software itself or the semiconductor components. Fortunately, the risks can be mitigated by automakers. The ongoing collaboration between Synopsys and Amazon Web Services (AWS) can help automakers enhance automotive system and […]

Introduction Connecting car applications to the cloud for exchanging Internet of Things (IoT) data enables several benefits for automotive vehicles. Authenticating the connecting securely is crucial for enabling real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance through continuous telemetry data sent to the cloud by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for monitoring. An OEM’s ability to provide over-the-air updates […]
