What happens when you approach the development of electronic control units (ECUs) for vehicles in the same way as smartphone design? Continental is exploring this question by parallelizing hardware and software development. The automotive industry is facing numerous challenges in building components to meet the needs of today’s customers. On the one hand, customers demand […]

As we reflect on the impactful events of Amazon Web Services (AWS) re:Invent 2023, it’s clear that this year’s conference, which took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, was a nexus of innovation and forward-thinking, especially for the automotive and manufacturing sector. This recap is dedicated to distilling the wealth of information and announcements made during […]

The traditional hardware-centric approach of developing and testing automotive software using Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL), is slow and limited in scale. The physical Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are not readily available during the software development phase, thus limiting the development team’s ability to scale. Consumer demand and expectations highlight the need for vehicles to be more connected, […]

Drawing a parallel to the story of the IBM PC, this blog post shows how the introduction of an open hardware platform for automotive applications might create a similar environment driving innovation, disruption, and transformation for the automotive industry. This blog post also discusses the potential  advantages for the first automotive company to release such […]

There is a current automotive industry paradigm shift that is requiring Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to accelerate their in-vehicle software delivery utilizing newer approaches and solutions such as cloud-based workflows and automotive operating systems (OS). Customer demand highlights the need for vehicles to be more connected, autonomous, shared, and electric (CASE). A McKinsey report says […]

Over the past two decades, the value of software in vehicles has risen dramatically. Software in vehicles we drive has usually been embedded into proprietary hardware. Updating and improving such software was usually done by bringing the vehicle in for service, and then updating the firmware with legacy and proprietary systems. In a software defined […]

At AWS re:Invent 2022, which was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from November 28 to December 2, AWS made several announcements relevant to the automotive industry. This blog post will summarize all the services and features from these announcements that are most relevant to the automotive industry. We will highlight AWS automotive and manufacturing industry […]

The automotive industry is going through a major transformation to address the growing demand for connected, electric, and autonomous vehicles. This transformation opens up new opportunities and benefits for automakers and automotive suppliers. Customers receive new features from over-the-air (OTA) updates that facilitate functionality in software without ever visiting a service station. Automotive manufacturers can […]

As software-defined vehicles (SDVs) move from a vision to reality, car manufacturers must reinvent the vehicle development process to accelerate technical development and enhance the in-vehicle driving experience. The standard development of a new vehicle takes a hardware-driven approach. It starts with documenting all requirements, creating a concept, and sourcing the hardware components. Therefore, the […]
