Major technology leaps are transforming vehicle electronics and software-architecture requirements. Vehicles are becoming increasingly defined by their software—not hardware—being hyper-connected, and part of the Internet of Things (IoT).
The automotive industry faces unparalleled change through the next decade, as automakers look to build competitive software-defined vehicles. To successfully lead or even compete, OEMs must make strategic decisions and investments today on what their business will look like in five or even 10 years. A recent whitepaper by SBD Automotive reveals that the estimated average Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for an automaker to build an in-house “intelligent middleware” solution for next-generation software-defined vehicles is $65 million (USD).
Watch Peter Virk, Vice President of BlackBerry IVY Product & Ecosystem, SBD Automotive’s Electrification Domain Principal Robert Fisher, and Principal Product Solutions Architect for AWS (Amazon Web Services) Industry Product Michael Garcia, as they share their front-line experiences and best practice approaches working with and for OEMs, as they grapple with how to deliver next-generation, software-defined vehicles in an industry undergoing a period of profound change.
The discussion covers:
- How to approach investments with a strategic, objectives-based framework for both the overall and domain-specific technical architecture of a vehicle’s software stack
- Why middleware is the most important tool for creating a software platform that is updateable, scalable, and portable
- How the BlackBerry IVY™ edge-to-cloud middleware platform can reduce software development costs and streamline new product development for faster time-to-market—while also allowing automakers and OEMs to add new revenue streams and retain control over their total software stack and ability to innovate and differentiate their products
Speakers:
- Peter Virk, Vice President, BlackBerry IVY Product & Ecosystem, BlackBerry
- Robert Fisher, Electrification Domain Principal, SBD Automotive
