1 Domain-based and software-defined vehicles | Explore the differences between domain-based and software-defined vehicle
architectures. |
2 New technologies enabled by software-defined vehicles | Learn how software-defined vehicles are enhancing technologies like digital
twins, optimizing vehicle performance. |
3 Variations in software-defined vehicle and zone architecture approaches | Understand the different approaches to centralizing software in vehicles
based on specific design requirements. |
Automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are continuously working to improve the occupant experience, simplify over-the-air updates, reduce design and manufacturing costs, collect more vehicle data, and create new revenue streams. However, today’s domain-based vehicle architectures are not equipped to easily and effectively meet these needs, leading to a shift toward software-defined vehicles and zone architectures. By centralizing software and decoupling hardware from software, software-defined vehicles are the next step in the development of smarter, safer and more energy-efficient vehicles.
