Software-defined vehicles sit at the crossroads of automotive and software development – two fields where, sadly, women have historically been underrepresented. The good news is that this convergence presents a unique opportunity to bridge the gender gap by joining forces, sharing experiences, and uniting talents from both domains.
Collaboration in the software-defined vehicle (SDV) space is not just a best practice; it’s a necessity. As the automotive industry shifts toward software-driven innovation, the role of open source becomes pivotal. However, fostering collaboration in a historically siloed industry presents both immense opportunities and significant challenges. At Open Community for Automotive last fall, experts Kai Hudalla, Steven Hartley, Phani Gangula, and Carlton Bale shared their insights on why collaboration and integration are so critical – and so difficult – in the SDV ecosystem.
This latest research highlights how the widespread adoption of open source software (OSS) is reshaping the development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) by addressing key priorities such as cost-effectiveness, innovation, and environmental sustainability for business leaders and developers.
