Aligning the manufacturers’ efforts with the consumers’ needs saves time and helps in creating great products. This is why car OEMs obsess over what your main focus is going to be when buying a car. Even EV companies, which are relatively new, have to first take into consideration the needs of the consumers and then innovate around them. The different needs and preferences of customers make the process of creating viable car designs very complex. 

In our last episode, Doug, Dan, and I talked about the overall industry trends that are affecting automotive development engineering, and today, in our third episode of this series, we dive deep into actual product development and what’s driving change in that arena. You are going to hear why EVs are becoming more attractive to the customers, why OEMs focus on developing advanced vehicles, and the role E/E systems and architecture play in the new, more complex world of the automotive industry.

Doug Burcicki is the Global Director of the Automotive & Transportation Heavy Equipment Industries, within Integrated Electrical Systems, part of the Siemens Digital Industries Software.
