Cars today are incredibly different compared to cars just a few decades ago. Whereas cars were historically mechanically centric products, they are now integrating increasing amounts of electronics and software, to the point that “software-defined vehicles” are becoming the norm. What does this major technological shift mean for the future of the automotive industry?

In this episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, Royston Jones, Global Head of Automotive and Transportation for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Ryan Martin, Senior Research Director at ABI Research to explore the key drivers behind the shift toward software-defined vehicles and the ways it is changing how the industry operates across companies, supply chains and beyond.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • What is driving the transition from mechanical to software-defined systems
  • What technologies make up software-defined vehicles
  • How the transition is changing automotive OEMs and supply chains
  • How software is changing the values of vehicles themselves through over the-air updates
