Software-defined vehicles

Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) are automobiles where software plays a central role in controlling and managing various functions and features. Unlike traditional vehicles that rely heavily on hardware-based controls, SDVs utilize sophisticated software systems to handle everything from engine performance and safety features to infotainment systems and driver assistance technologies. This approach allows for greater flexibility, as software updates can improve functionality and add new features without needing physical modifications. SDVs represent a significant shift towards more customizable and adaptable vehicles, enabling manufacturers to deploy new features and enhancements remotely. The integration of advanced software in these vehicles supports innovations like autonomous driving and personalized driving experiences.
