We’re back for episode seven of On the Move: A Siemens Automotive podcast. This is part two of Nand Kochhar and Michael Severson’s conversation with Michael Munsey and David Fritz on the changes the software-defined vehicle is bringing to the automotive market. In the last episode we focused on some of the journey to SDV ubiquity and how we are helping merge vehicle manufacturing, semiconductor development, and software within the Digital Twin.

For this episode we are examining why using a common development language and engineering platform is so important to successfully delivering a software-defined vehicle. Beyond communicating more complex requirements with suppliers and internal development groups, a digital-first approach helps accelerate innovation and help compress ballooning vehicle program timelines.
