The concept of software-defined vehicles is steadily gaining traction, extending beyond the automotive sector to encompass industries like industrials, healthcare, clean energy, and commercial aerospace. However, these vehicles confront challenges, such as adapting software interfaces and the laggard nature of development processes and tools. Despite these hurdles, software-defined vehicles remain a pivotal trend in the digital transformation of the automotive industry. By decoupling software from hardware, they facilitate the diversification and personalization of automotive functionalities, fostering innovation and reshaping the industry landscape.
