Driving transformation for software-defined vehicles

The automotive industry is undergoing a radical shift towards SDVs. These complex systems require a new approach to development that transcends traditional, time-consuming, and expensive physical prototyping. Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and digital simulation empower automotive companies to navigate this transformation.

This digital engineering approach unlocks significant benefits, including faster development cycles, reduced costs, and ultimately, the ability to deliver innovative features that revolutionize the driving experience.

Dramatic advances push automakers to rethink development strategy

As vehicles transition to electric power and integrate advanced technologies, their development needs a complete overhaul. Gone are the days of solely hardware-focused design. They limit experimentation, hinder collaboration across diverse engineering disciplines, and lead to costly late-stage design changes.

The future belongs to SDVs, where software plays a central role in everything from key locks and safety features to critical systems like steering, braking, and even communication with other vehicles. Automakers need to embrace a more digital approach that leverages MBSE to stay ahead of the curve.

The model-based systems engineering perspective

MBSE fosters an interdisciplinary approach by creating a digital thread encompassing the entire vehicle and its lifecycle. This allows engineers to integrate new features seamlessly with existing mechanical, electrical, and software components, something impossible with physical prototypes.

By leveraging MBSE and digital simulation, automotive manufacturers can achieve faster time-to-market, reduced costs, and increased innovation in the exciting world of SDVs.
