Overview

From embedded advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) to connected infotainment—the modern automotive experience is being driven by software. And BMW Group is at the forefront of the transformation. Here, Dr. Christoph Grote, the company’s senior vice president for electronics and software, talks about what the software-defined vehicle means to the world-leading automotive brand. The importance of developer engagement in a continuous software development cycle. And how the cloud is the fabric that makes innovation possible.
