Modern vehicles aren’t just machines; they’re mobile data centers, real-time control systems, and edge-computing platforms all wrapped in metal. If your car has more software updates than your phone, welcome to the era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs).

As the automotive industry accelerates toward digital transformation, SDVs are emerging as a key driver of innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness. But what exactly makes a vehicle “software-defined,” and how can your teams adapt to the shift?

In this on-demand webinar, we explore the strategic and technical foundations of SDVs and explain how modern architectures and tools are enabling faster, more modular, and scalable automotive development. You will gain an understanding of the principles of Software Defined Vehicles and see how your team can adopt Model-Based Design for Service Oriented Architecture development to leverage automatic code generation and improve V&V processes.

Agenda:

• Current Trends in Automotive Development
• What Makes a Vehicle Software-Defined – Core principles and why it matters for your organization
• Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) – How SOA supports SDV modularity, flexibility, and future-ready platforms
• Key Takeaways & Next Steps

Who Should Watch:

This session is designed for engineering leaders, system architects, R&D decision-makers, and analysts evaluating the ROI and strategic fit of development tools for SDVs.
