The automotive industry is changing, with autonomous, connected, electric, shared (ACES) steadily becoming more common. In fact, it is estimated that by 2030, 96% of all new cars will have connectivity built-in, and by 2040, nearly every new car sold will be electric.
However, while “Shared” is a cultural trend, autonomous, connected, and electric vehicles require more software than traditional vehicles with internal combustion engines. For that reason, it essential that all the software undergoes careful review to ensure safety, security, and reliability.
