Thoughtworks (NASDAQ: TWKS), a global technology consultancy
that integrates strategy, design and engineering, today announced
the launch of Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) Pulse, an inaugural
annual report informed by Thoughtworks’ and AWS’ observations,
conversations and front-line experiences helping their global
clients in the automotive industry transition to SDV.
With software deeply embedded in modern vehicles enabling
capabilities in everything from passenger infotainment to
autonomous driving, the report compiles the most relevant
technologies, practice and other key trends for auto manufacturers
and suppliers to consider for their SDV strategy.
The SDV Pulse report has forty insights, each represented as a
“pulse point”, that reflects a technology, practice or trend.
Thoughtworks and AWS experts have also identified an adoption stage
for where each pulse point currently stands. Broadly, these stages
are “concept phase” for pulse points that are emerging yet their
potential remains largely unproven; “early adoptions” for pulse
points that represent a significant differentiation opportunity for
potential early adopters; and “mass adoption” for pulse points that
are becoming widespread across the industry so the window to
translate them into differentiated value is closing.
“The relationship between the automotive industry and software
engineering is, to say the least, complex. One thing everyone
agrees on is that this relationship is inescapable. To remain
competitive and future-proof, everyone needs to understand the
challenges, but also the immense opportunities,” said Michael Fait,
global head technology for SDV, Thoughtworks.
Highlighted themes in the inaugural SDV Pulse include:
- In-vehicle zero-trust architecture (ZTA) (concept
phase): ZTA, with its fundamental principle of assuming no
inherent trust, offers a robust defense mechanism against
cybersecurity risks.
- Continuous compliance (concept phase): Organizations can
automate compliance checks and audits and integrate tools into
software development pipelines, allowing teams to detect and
address compliance issues early in the development process.
- Developer portals for vehicle APIs (early adoption
phase): Multiple OEMs now offer portals to help developers
build applications using vehicle APIs. We see these developer
portals as a key enabler of SDV ecosystem growth.
- Rust (early adoption phase): Rust is a modern
alternative to C++ for embedded automotive development that will
improve safety and productivity. The source code and qualification
documents are open-sourced which is a fundamental step towards
using Rust in functional safety-relevant cases.
- Automotive grade Linux (AGL) (mass adoption phase):
Initially started as a platform for building infotainment systems,
AGL is the only project organization that addresses all software in
a vehicle. It has now reached a level of maturity where several
major automotive manufacturers are adopting it for their production
vehicles.
- Hardware accelerators in the cloud (mass adoption
phase): Automotive companies send and store petabytes of sensor
data in the cloud — a process that can be both time-consuming and
expensive. Accessing hardware accelerators in the cloud helps
enable OEMs to mitigate the challenge of hardware accelerators that
are growing scarce and expensive.
“AWS works backwards with customers to address business
challenges, and leveraging our collective expertise, AWS and
Thoughtworks are helping the industry transition to a
software-defined future,” said Stefano Marzani, Worldwide
Technology Lead, SDV at AWS. “Through increased development in the
cloud, companies across the automotive landscape can take advantage
of technologies like AI, ML and now generative AI to turn data into
insights that will inform the functions and features of
tomorrow.”
Thoughtworks helps organizations modernize their infrastructure,
capabilities and practices in the transition to SDV leveraging the
broad and deep portfolio of AWS cloud services. Visit
