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.
Electric Vehicles Overview
As electric vehicles become more common, it’s important to have a clear understanding of their development and what are the best practices to keep them safe, efficient, and reliable.
While similar, electric vehicles differ from a vehicle with a traditional internal combustion engine. That is why it is important to have an understanding of those differences to better comprehend electric vehicle development best practices.
Electric Vehicle Security Overview
With electric vehicles’ increased reliance on software, it is essential that electric vehicle security is prioritized.
Electric Vehicle Software Compliance Overview
An essential part of the automotive software development process is ensuring that the software is compliant with key industry standards and guidelines. For electric vehicles, where many hardware components have been replaced by electronic components this is especially true.
Autonomous Vehicles Overview
While it may be sometime before fully autonomous vehicles become commonplace, it is nevertheless essential that autonomous vehicle software is high quality and secure.
Self-Driving Cars: Are They Safe?
In the interim, while autonomous vehicle software is being refined, are self-driving cars safe?
Autonomous Vehicle Coding Standards
While many of the coding standards and guidelines that apply to more traditional vehicles with an internal combustion engine also apply to autonomous vehicles, there are a few standards and guidelines that are unique to them.
