“OEMs should allow more flexibility in adopting community-based standards” Open source is becoming a strategic lever for SDV platforms as carmakers seek to reuse non-differentiating software at scale. Dr Martin Wagner of BMW explains how S-CORE within Eclipse SDV aims to support safety, ADAS and series viability. Benjamin Müller
“Platforms are the backbone of AI-supported engineering” AI will only deliver real productivity gains in automotive software engineering when it is scaled across processes, toolchains and governance. Saskia Kohlhaas of IAV explains how AI-infused engineering can be implemented effectively. Benjamin Müller
“Production readiness is achieved through systematic hardening” As SDV stacks grow more complex, open software must prove it can scale under series, safety and lifecycle constraints. Paula Herzog of Qorix explains how Eclipse S-CORE can be hardened for real-time, automotive-grade deployment. Benjamin Müller
“The real challenge is functional traceability” As AI enters automotive software engineering, scalable development is becoming a process challenge. Georg Doll, CTO Automotive & Mobility at Microsoft, explains how spec-driven development and AI agents can turn formal intent into verified code. Benjamin Müller
