SAE Tomorrow Today

320. Why SDV Strategy Needs Application Layer Innovation


Listen Later

What’s really holding back software-defined vehicles (SDVs) … and where should automakers shift their focus?

Listen in as we sit down with John Wall, President of QNX, to explore how
a trusted, safety-certified foundation frees OEMs to innovate faster,
collaborate more effectively, and deliver differentiated vehicles. Drawing on insights from the Under the Hood: SDV Developer Report, they unpack why automakers must shift away from maintaining complex, non-differentiating software and focus instead on application-layer innovation to better define brand identity and customer experience.

 

You’ll also learn how QNX is expanding into robotics, healthcare, and industrial automation with its secure, high-performance operating system. Whether you’re fascinated by autonomous cars, collaborative robots, or the future of AI in physical systems, this episode is packed with insights on innovation, safety, and the power of partnerships.
