Software-defined vehicle (SDV) technology has been a prominent highlight in the quickly evolving automotive industry. But how much of it is hype, and where is the real and tangible value? CES 2025 in Las Vegas will be an important venue to gauge the actual progress this technology has made with a motto of bringing code on the road.
Elektrobit will demonstrate its cloud-based virtual development, prototyping, testing, and validation platform for digital cockpits and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) at the show. The company's SDV solutions encompass AMD's automotive-grade hardware, Google's Android Automotive and Gemini AI, Epic Games' Unreal Engine for 3D rendering, and Here navigation.
Moreover, at CES 2025, Sony Honda Mobility will showcase its AFEELA prototype for electric vehicles (EVs), which employs Elektrobit's digital cockpit built around a software-defined approach. Elektrobit's other partners demonstrating their SDV solutions at the show include AWS, Cognizant, dSPACE, Siemens, and Sonatus.
SDV's 2024 diary
Earlier, in April 2024, leading automotive chipmaker Infineon joined hands with embedded software specialist Green Hills to jointly develop SDV architectures for EV drivetrains. Infineon would combine its microcontroller-based processing platform AURIX TC4x with safety-certified real-time operating system (RTOS) µ-velOSity from Green Hills...
