How OSS and Cloud-Native Development Drive Change in the Automotive Industry

Session Abstract: 

The decades-old strategy automakers have used for platform development has resulted in long development cycles, increased complexities, and a long time-to-revenue. Conversely, faster advancements are often attributed to the adoption of a modernized infrastructure platform and cloud-native technology. As the industry evolves toward the software-defined vehicle, it’s clear that the automotive value chain is also changing. In this session we will discuss how open source software and cloud-native development are becoming a pivotal part of the automotive value chain, how it can help to bring the software-defined vehicle to life, and the need for software-centric in-vehicle architectures.
