This talk looks at the implications coming with the disruption driven by the Software Defined Vehicle momentum. From the lack of standard interfaces and latency to the need for secure communication between virtual machines and the ability to maintain up-to-date, secure software – all the challenges identified have one thing in common. They all require collaborative software engineering to bring standardization and reference open source code bases to automotive. Without open standards the path to delivering the software defined vehicle will be a lot longer and more costly.
