With the rise in digitization, increasing automation and new business models, automotive incumbents are making strategic moves to shape the industry's evolution. Incumbent players are implementing a strategic approach towards the industry challenges to get ahead of the inevitable disruption.
Advanced technologies are making us all more competitive. Today, we are hearing, and even seeing connected cars. Automotive electrification today drives the use of design IP. Future mobility is getting enabled by sensorization. Also, there is software innovation driving automobiles. There are many such trends happening.
Here, Anup Sable, CTO at KPIT Technologies, tells us more. Excerpts from an interview:
How has the experience of software innovation been with automobiles?
Traditionally, automobiles have been mechanical. Over the past 40 years or so, we have seen the gradual introduction of software and electronics technologies that have enabled new features and functions e.g., power windows, antilock braking systems, climate control, etc. Today, the automobile is effectively 'software on wheels.'
The industry megatrends of Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric or CASE, demand more dedicated software development and code-driven systems in modern next-generation vehicles. A modern car will have more than 150 million lines of code and the next generation autonomous electric vehicles can have approximately 500 million lines of code. The software sits inside several powerful electronic control units or advanced chipsets where all the processing and computation take place.
Software technology is helping vehicle manufacturers create differentiated products and is also driving innovation. As the role of software and electronics increases in the development of vehicles, so does the complexity. Vehicle manufacturers must now develop deep software competence and electronic capabilities to build next-generation vehicles.
How are cloud services being incorporated/ adopted by the automotive and mobility industry?
