Software validation for software-defined vehicles (SDVs)

The rise of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is revolutionizing the automotive industry with advances in connectivity, automation and functionality. However, these innovations bring significant challenges, particularly in software validation. Ensuring the reliability, safety and performance of SDVs requires new strategies to manage the complexities of integrated software and hardware systems. This presentation examines the landscape of SDV platforms, focusing on the cutting-edge technologies driving their evolution. It explores critical validation challenges, including scalability, real-time performance and the need for diverse testing environments. Additionally, it introduces a transformative approach to validation: highly automated, software-defined test platforms.
