Architectural opportunities propel software-defined vehicles forward
At the end of last year, the global software-defined vehicle (SDV) market size was valued at $49.3 billion. With a compound annual growth rate exceeding 25%, the industry is set to skyrocket over the next decade. But this anticipated growth hinges on automakers addressing fundamental architectural and organizational barriers. To me, 2025 will be a…
Semiconductor industry strategy 2025: Semiconductors at the heart of software-defined products
Electronics are everywhere. As daily life becomes more digital and more devices become software defined and interconnected, the prevalence of electronics will inevitably rise. Semiconductors are what makes this all possible. So, it is no surprise that the entire semiconductor industry is on a path to being a $1 trillion market by 2030. While accelerating…
How to a wirelessly upgraded a software-defined vehicle (SDV)
In-vehicle systems have massively grown in complexity with more installed speakers, microphones, cameras, displays, and compute burden to process the necessary information and provide the proper, often time-sensitive output. The unfortunate side effect of this complexity is the massive increase in ECUs and subsequent cabling to and from its allocated subsystem like engine, powertrain, and…
CES 2025: Moving toward software-defined vehicles
Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) are a big theme at CES this year, shifting vehicles from hardware-centric upgrades to over the air (OTA) software upgrades. In order to do this, vehicle subsystems must rely on a, more or less, generic processing platform that can perform a wide variety of functions to serve the various aspects of a…
