Auto-racing teams continue to push the boundaries of track day performances for both vehicles and drivers. The combination of cross-functional teams involved in driver success goes beyond what is shown during the race event and extends to deep collaborations with automakers. Automakers are engaged in constant feedback loops to optimize the performance of their cars […]

Introduction Automotive developers use Model-Based Development (MBD) tools to create software using visual models, then generate and execute tests to verify the software against functional, safety and other kinds of requirements. Testing is time-consuming, and developers need to execute a growing number of tests depending on the features developed. This blog will cover how AWS […]

The development of modern vehicles requires extensive collaboration between automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their multi-tiered supplier network. During the integration phase, an OEM and its supplier tiers verify that all components fit with one another and satisfy the OEM’s requirements. This phase is mostly performed towards the end of the vehicle development lifecycle […]

Today’s vehicles are increasingly defined by software and innovative semiconductor technology. This increased software content can bring greater risk of failure, whether within the software itself or the semiconductor components. Fortunately, the risks can be mitigated by automakers. The ongoing collaboration between Synopsys and Amazon Web Services (AWS) can help automakers enhance automotive system and […]

What happens when you approach the development of electronic control units (ECUs) for vehicles in the same way as smartphone design? Continental is exploring this question by parallelizing hardware and software development. The automotive industry is facing numerous challenges in building components to meet the needs of today’s customers. On the one hand, customers demand […]

As we reflect on the impactful events of Amazon Web Services (AWS) re:Invent 2023, it’s clear that this year’s conference, which took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, was a nexus of innovation and forward-thinking, especially for the automotive and manufacturing sector. This recap is dedicated to distilling the wealth of information and announcements made during […]

The traditional hardware-centric approach of developing and testing automotive software using Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL), is slow and limited in scale. The physical Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are not readily available during the software development phase, thus limiting the development team’s ability to scale. Consumer demand and expectations highlight the need for vehicles to be more connected, […]

Drawing a parallel to the story of the IBM PC, this blog post shows how the introduction of an open hardware platform for automotive applications might create a similar environment driving innovation, disruption, and transformation for the automotive industry. This blog post also discusses the potential  advantages for the first automotive company to release such […]

There is a current automotive industry paradigm shift that is requiring Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to accelerate their in-vehicle software delivery utilizing newer approaches and solutions such as cloud-based workflows and automotive operating systems (OS). Customer demand highlights the need for vehicles to be more connected, autonomous, shared, and electric (CASE). A McKinsey report says […]

Over the past two decades, the value of software in vehicles has risen dramatically. Software in vehicles we drive has usually been embedded into proprietary hardware. Updating and improving such software was usually done by bringing the vehicle in for service, and then updating the firmware with legacy and proprietary systems. In a software defined […]
