In this free webinar, OpenSynergy’s Tero Salminen explains how automakers can free themselves from hardware-specific software stacks and supplier lock-in by switching to Software-Defined Architecture (SDA).

The expert also describes how SDA allows vehicle manufacturers to decide which hardware to use after completing the software design process.

Key topics and takeaways:

  • Discover how traditional development methodologies have led to hardware-specific software stacks and supplier lock-in
  • Learn how the SDA approach separates the hardware from the application software using virtualization technology
  • Find out how SDA enables vehicle manufacturers to design software first before deciding which hardware to use and how many SoCs are required to provide the necessary computing power
