In the rapidly evolving landscape of automotive technology, the shift towards Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) presents both challenges and opportunities. Iveco Group has been at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging innovative strategies and cutting-edge technologies to adapt its development processes and methodologies.

In this case study, Demetrio Cortese, Embedded Software Development Manager of Iveco Group explores how the organization is aligning with the SDV paradigm, emphasizing the critical role of simulation technologies, the balance between proprietary and open-source solutions, and the company’s overarching strategy to drive innovation and meet customer expectations.

Vehicles, as we know them are changing and getting completely overhauled. OEMs are facing a completely new paradigm where they are not only transforming a 100-year-old industry, but also trying to sell a new product which involves maintaining and updating it throughout its lifecycle. Companies are working hard but in a continuously evolving market, automotive companies are on a steep learning curve to deliver early versions of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs).

As the automotive industry continues to step toward a future defined by SDVs, Automotive IQ spoke with Partha Goswami, the Former Professional Fellow of Technology & Trends at General Motors. In this interview, Partha shares invaluable insights gleaned from his extensive experience in the automotive sector, offering a comprehensive overview of the challenges, successes, and future trajectory of SDV development.

We know that the industry is on a tight deadline to meet the new standards, but how can we understand them further, as well as the safety cases?

Automotive IQ speaks with conference speaker Rami Debouk at General Motors. Rami Debouk joined General Motors Global Research and Development Center in Warren, Michigan, USA in 2000 after receiving his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He is currently a GM Technical Fellow with research interests in system safety methods and techniques, system of systems, failure diagnosis, and fault tolerant systems.
