We curate most relevant posts about Next-Gen Vehicle Intelligence on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.

This edition offers a comprehensive overview of the automotive industry’s rapid transformation, primarily focusing on the shift towards Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) and the pervasive integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Key themes include the critical role of middleware and open-source software in enabling interoperability and accelerating development cycles, as well as the necessity of a mindset shift among OEMs to become software companies. Much attention is given to autonomous driving (AD), with several sources discussing the use of simulation-first development and virtual testing to enhance safety and efficiency, although some experts caution about the limitations and safety challenges—such as “hallucinations”—associated with current AI models. Finally, the texts highlight the importance of global partnerships and the strategic competitive landscape, with major events like IAA Mobility showcasing China's market dominance and significant investments by European players like Volkswagen in AI and new development architectures.
