Defining SDV Importance in E-Mobility

The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVS) is unprecedented and marks a unique hyper-evolution for the entire automotive industry. With the rise of new forms of transportation comes Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs). These are anticipated to enable new frontiers in mobility and transportation, especially in relation to the infrastructure that is being built.

In this straight to the point and fulfilling webinar, we will cover the SDV development processes and how they relate to agile electric mobility design (along with manufacturing processes) and the ever-changing personalized driving experiences through evolving, on-demand infrastructure. This session is captivating for all domains… engineers, developers, and people looking to quench their curiosity — this will enable you to jump-start your path at the forefront of the transforming world.

What Are Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs)?  

Understand SDVs and their core principles. Explore how, through connectivity and software, vehicles transform from being basic mechanical systems to sophisticated data intelligent platforms.  

From ECUs to Domain & Zonal Controllers  

Comprehend the mental shift towards centralized computing and zonal architectures for enhanced vehicle functionality. These culminate in complex tasks such as autonomous driving, predictive diagnostics, real-time data and hardware complexity sorting.

Over the Air (OTA) Uptades & Embedded Systems

Discover the role of embedded software in critical functions of an EV – battery health monitoring, motor control, ADAS, infotainment, cybersecurity – and how OTA updates help these systems remain current, flexible, and secure.

Innovations in E-Mobility SDV Technologies

Explore how SDVs enable:

• Predictive maintenance that avoids potential failures.  
• Smart charging with grid and energy cost minimization.  
• Vehicle-to-Everything V2X allows for a connected driving ecosystem.  
• Autonomous and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) functions.  
• Remote management of commercial electric vehicle fleets.  

Key SDV Tools and Technologies  

Learn about relevant components and tools of an SDV:  

• Software stacks: AUTOSAR, Adaptive AUTOSAR, Embedded C, ROS.  
• Communication Protocols include CAN, UDS, LIN, Ethernet in automotive, and others.
• Development & validation tools include MATLAB/Simulink, Vector CANoe, digital twin simulations.  
• Cybersecurity frameworks that defend the vehicle from outside attacks.  

SDVs and ADAS

SDVs enable the development of more sophisticated ADAS features by providing a flexible platform for software updates and upgrades. They allow for the integration of advanced sensors, algorithms, and processing power needed for tasks like object detection, path planning, and real-time decision-making in autonomous driving. 

SDVs and AUTOSAR

AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) is a global standard that defines the architecture of vehicle software, facilitating interoperability and standardization. In the context of SDVs, AUTOSAR provides a framework for managing the complex software that powers ADAS functions and other vehicle systems. It helps ensure that different software components work together seamlessly, enabling the development of reliable and safe autonomous driving capabilities. 

Example:
An SDV equipped with ADAS features, like adaptive cruise control or lane-keeping assist, relies on complex software algorithms and sensor data processing. This software can be developed and deployed within the AUTOSAR framework, ensuring that it interacts correctly with other vehicle systems.
