To adapt to new customer demands such as convenience, safety, autonomy, and electrification, the automotive industry is moving to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) based on more powerful electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures. Designers find themselves in need of safe and scalable combinations of real-time and applications processing as well as vehicle networking. This 30-minute webinar will explore ways to meet the evolving needs of SDV development including a solution for central compute based on super-integration processors.

Topics include:

  • How next-generation virtual prototypes are enabling automotive companies to efficiently deploy ECUs and vehicle-level electronics
  • Details and capabilities of a virtual prototype
  • Common use cases for software development and test
  • How virtual prototypes, throughout the vehicle lifecycle, allow an earlier project start, validation cost reduction, and accelerated availability of higher quality software
