Pioneering the smart mobility platform - software defined vehicle (SDV)

The auto industry has evolved significantly over the years, with software-defined vehicles leading the way in advancing technology. With the ACES technology approach, vehicles are becoming more autonomous, connected, electrified, and shared than ever before, promising fully automated features in the future

Over the past many years, the auto industry has taken a huge leap with technology transformations, one of the hits being advancing hardware to software-defined vehicles.

We have had vehicles with technologies that were fully mechanically driven-carburetor systems, and mechanical brakes. Later, got upgraded to a semi-mechanically driven, ECUenabled system like Multi-Point Fuel Injector (MPFi) and chassis designed with drive-by-wire systems.

Now with the ACES technology approach – Autonomous, Connected, Electrification, and Shared Mobility, we’ve reached a stage where technologies have evolved rapidly, replacing hardware system with software-oriented systems support. This has given a higher capability to outreach and introduce state-of-the-art technologies into vehicles, with promising fully automated features in the coming future that will be adopted easily and relied upon.
