The path toward software-defined vehicles is anything but unified. While some OEMs are forming alliances and collaborative platforms, many others continue to pursue their own isolated strategies. Across the ecosystem, we see a growing number of working groups and standardization bodies pushing their own agendas – sometimes overlapping, sometimes diverging. This presentation explores the fragmented nature of the SDV landscape, looking at the complex layers from hardware abstraction to application software, and the challenges of aligning industry efforts. Can this fragmented momentum eventually converge, or will the future of SDVs remain a patchwork of competing visions? 

Join this session to learn more about:

• Understand the root causes behind the industry’s disjointed state, from legacy OEM structures to overlapping alliances, and why a unified strategy is essential for survival
• Gain clarity on the major players, open-source projects, and consortia driving SDV innovation – what they offer, where they collide, and how OEMs can navigate and harmonize their strategies
• Learn a practical, layered approach to SDV development, from hardware to cloud, including architecture, virtualization, and the role of standards and APIs
