The automotive industry is undergoing significant transformations with the advent of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). These megatrends are marked by the integration of advanced software and centralized computing platforms, fundamentally reshaping vehicle architecture and operational efficiency. A key aspect of this evolution is the consolidation of electronic control units (ECUs), which streamlines vehicle systems and enhances performance. SDVs employ high-performance computing to manage various functions, including ADAS, which improves driver safety and convenience with features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and automated parking.
The transition from traditional desktop-based development processes to continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) and DevOps workflows signifies a pivotal shift toward more agile and efficient development practices. Over-the-air (OTA) software updates enable continuous improvements and adaptation to emerging technologies, ensuring that SDVs and ADAS remain at the forefront of innovation. This evolution is redefining the driving experience, offering increased efficiency, flexibility, and enhanced safety.
In this panel discussion, we explore the following key areas:
- Technological foundations for ADAS and SDVs, including sensors, algorithms, centralized architecture, and validation processes
- Development challenges and insights into complexities of integrating ADAS and SDVs into vehicle platforms
- DevOps and OTA updates for rapid deployment of new features, ensuring compliance with safety and security standards
- Legacy software migration transitioning to service-oriented architecture (SOA) to achieve modular and scalable designs
- MathWorks role in accelerating the development of ADAS and vehicle software architecture through Model-Based Design
