Welcome to Automotive E/E Systems Revolution – a series of podcasts from the Integrated Electrical Systems Group of Siemens Digital Industries Software. The software-defined vehicle is another important trend in today’s automotive industry, not separate from but intertwined with the well-known trends of electrification, autonomy, connectivity, and shared mobility. Technologies underlying these trends all rely on sophisticated software applications to enable both basic and advanced vehicle features and functionality. In the final part of our podcast series, we wrap up our discussion on the future of automotive E/E architectures, E/E systems development, and the automotive industry. We talk about the growing role of software in delivering vehicle functionality, and how this change may affect vehicle development as a whole. Joining me once again are Doug Burcicki – the Global Director of the Automotive & Transportation Heavy Equipment Industries, within Integrated Electrical Systems, part of the Siemens Digital Industries Software – and Dan Scott, the Marketing Director within Integrated Electrical Systems. Tune in, to learn more about the drivers of change in the automotive landscape. In this episode, you will learn: What software-defined vehicle is.
