Technology readiness for the software-defined vehicle (SDV)

As stakeholders across the mobility and industrial ecosystem rewire to become software-enabled enterprises, the concept of software-defined vehicles or SDVs has gained much attention. The term ‘SDV’ has become a buzz or marketing word in the automotive industry and is open to varying interpretations. Additionally, the absence of a transparent industry benchmark to evaluate the actual preparedness of vehicles for SDV implementation makes it even more important to clearly define this term.
