Overview

Advances in automotive technology are leading many automobile manufacturers and designers to create cars that are more like smartphones or living rooms. In the physical world, we strive for functional safety and vehicles with great performance. In the Agile world, software developers are looking for what individual customers want. Right now, these two value streams are moving at different speeds.

How can we add more customer value without compromising functional safety?

This booklet introduces the #digitalfirst approach for automotive software design to enable the software-defined vehicle from ideation through requirements validation. It's a road map that provides automotive digital managers, senior architects, and product managers with a common language to help speed up automotive software development, reduce costs, and maximize customer value without compromising functional safety.

With this booklet, you will:

  • Examine key architectural concepts of a software-defined vehicle
  • Learn how functionality, testing, and virtualization enable faster automotive software development
  • Learn how to use a #digitalfirst approach to orchestrate value streams in your organization
  • Speed up and continuously improve software development without sacrificing safety
  • Align teams on architectural and design concepts for automotive software design
  • Understand the place for and impact of AI on software-designed vehicles
