Software is now a critical component of nearly every modern vehicle. Consumers demand more high-tech features to be incorporated into their cars; therefore, software content has grown. This transition towards a software-defined vehicle is also causing rapid growth in vehicle complexity. To keep up with legacy automotive original equipment, manufacturers and suppliers must deliver innovative software-driven vehicle features while integrating these features into a vehicle's mechanical, electrical and electronic systems.

In this episode of the Future Car Podcast Series, Conor Peick interviews Piyush Karkare, Global Director of Automotive Industry Solutions at Siemens Digital Industries Software, and Nand Kochhar, Vice President, Automotive and Transportation Industry at Siemens Digital Industries Software, regarding the complexities of automotive software development today and in the future, mainly as we come closer to the reality of autonomous vehicles.

What you will learn in this episode:

• How past and current trends affect automotive software development


• Challenges to the growth of vehicle software content in the automotive development life cycle.


• Key features customers want that would be impossible without software.


• How autonomous vehicles extrapolate the complexity to make machines do what humans can do.


• Compliance with software for critical safety systems that meet strict regulatory requirements for functional, safety and cybersecurity
