Here it is the Elephant in the Car: How Modern Cars Outlive Their Software Systems

Abstract: Modern consumer vehicles are designed to last 12 to 15 years mechanically, but their embedded software systems often receive support for only 5 to 10 years. This growing mismatch presents challenges in safety, cybersecurity, functionality, and environmental sustainability. As software becomes increasingly central to automotive operation, the industry must address this lifecycle imbalance to … Continue reading Here it is the Elephant in the Car: How Modern Cars Outlive Their Software Systems →

Is a Software Defined Vehicle an Illusion?

A Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) is primarily controlled by software, enabling real-time updates, customization, and advanced connectivity. While software updates can potentially enhance engine power and features, they are limited by the vehicle's hardware. Achieving an SDV requires advanced computing hardware, modular software design, connectivity infrastructure, shared hardware platforms, and robust data management and cloud integration. Challenges include cybersecurity risks, privacy concerns, hardware limitations, and regulatory compliance issues.
