This edition offers a comprehensive overview of the automotive industry’s transformation towards Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), highlighting both the technological advancements and the structural challenges involved. A major theme is the inefficiency of traditional Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), who spend 70–80% of development effort on non-differentiating infrastructure instead of customer features, leading to slower releases and calls to adopt a "buy instead of build" strategy for commodity layers. To accelerate development and improve quality, sources repeatedly stress the importance of virtualization, digital twins, and "Shift Left" testing, enabling parallel development and reduced reliance on costly physical prototypes. Furthermore, the shift to SDVs introduces critical new challenges, including liability concerns related to the rising use of open-source software and the need to balance software innovation with robust hardware safety, a priority underscored by recent fatal accidents. Finally, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly expanding, not only in autonomous driving and predictive maintenance but also in enhancing the in-cabin customer experience through advanced conversational assistants and personalised services.
