From Hardware to Software: The New Era of Software-Defined Vehicles

This video explores the evolution of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), highlighting the shift from hardware-centric development to a software-led, continuously evolving mobility ecosystem. It showcases how technologies such as centralized compute, over-the-air (OTA) updates, virtualization, and AI are transforming automotive engineering.

Featuring Raghavendra K A and Mukesh Dialani, the session brings together industry and enterprise perspectives on the SDV transformation. Raghavendra K A discusses how organizations can transition to scalable SDV architectures through modular platforms, virtual engineering, and ecosystem collaboration. Mukesh Dialani provides an industry lens, highlighting the growing importance of software-driven innovation, open architectures, and the need to move from pilots to production-ready SDV programs.

The discussion also covers critical enablers such as cybersecurity, functional safety, and cloud-driven development environments—offering practical insights for organizations aiming to accelerate their SDV journey and drive innovation at scale.
