Trends and Challenges in Development
Developments in the automotive industry
Driven by new competitors such as Tesla and Byton, established automakers are facing new challenges in vehicle development. The focus is no longer on developing high-performance internal combustion engines encased in a sleek body, but rather on transforming the vehicle into a computer on four wheels.
In our white paper on current trends and challenges in development, we discuss the following trends, among others:
- A computer on four wheels
- Explosion in the number of model variants
- Complex supplier networks
- Ever-shorter development cycles
We will also discuss the following challenges:
- A stronger focus on customers and functionality
- Following a construction plan for software and hardware architecture
- Ensuring continuity and quality in a complex supply chain
- Integration into a seamless, fully functional system
- Aligning hardware and software development cycles
