Osterman adds: “That should give us a lot of confidence to be able to launch into 2025 in a much more healthy way.” Stellantis Ward Automotive #EV #ICE #Automotive #Hybrid   China is pivoting on Hybrid Automotive - https://lnkd.in/gfDUcMhA

In a new article for Automotive News, Envorso CEO Scott Tobin offers automakers a tip: don’t pull back on software-defined vehicles amid lagging EV sales. “It is important for the industry to remember that the vast majority of new vehicle software architectures are just as relevant for new and updated ICE and hybrid models as the new EV models.” Read Scott’s full article: https://lnkd.in/g6s-Rj5i #software #automotive #SDV

This week, ZF's Kyle Williams spoke at WardsAuto's AutoTech Detroit on the evolving landscape for Tier 1 suppliers and exploring how suppliers can remain competitive in this dynamic era of SDVs. During the session, Kyle tackled the significant challenges suppliers face, including increased competition from tech companies and automakers developing their own software, and revenue loss due to hardware commoditization. Despite these hurdles, there are many opportunities in collaborating with software tech companies, co-developing new software functions with automakers, innovating sensor technologies, and using data to create unique selling points. In this era of software-defined vehicles, adaptation and innovation are crucial. ZF’s cubiX technology is a prime example of how integrated systems can redefine vehicle control and propel the industry forward. #AutoTechDetroit #Innovation #Mobility #ZF #cubiX

In a new article for Forbes, Envorso’s Steve Tengler talked with three connected vehicle executives about finding success in the ever-evolving world of automotive software. According to one General Dynamics executive: “It is a grueling, rapidly developing part of the industry, so you have to be able to persevere through change. You’ll find yourself as a leader way ahead one day, and instantly far behind the next day. There are so many players and so much disruption, but those who have the ability to endure can find success.” Check out the full article: https://hubs.la/Q02FfqwG0 #software #automotive #careers

The #automotive industry is undergoing radical change, and aicas is at the forefront. We're back in #Detroit! Johannes Biermann, Thomas Hentschel, and Steven Marney are at #AutoTechDetroit covering the hottest topics: Over-the-air (#OTA) updates: OTA updates are now the norm, delivering software upgrades and security patches remotely. But with great power comes great responsibility - and challenges. Ensuring #security and avoiding disruption are critical, as vehicle owners often report problems after an update. #AI-powered solutions: In-car AI relies on massive amounts of data from sensors, cameras, and #GPS. This data can revolutionize performance and safety, but its sheer volume presents storage and analytics challenges that often prevent #OEMs from realizing the full potential of AI. Software-Defined Vehicles: #Data is gold, but too much can be overwhelming and costly. Effective data management is critical to gaining insights, understanding customers, and driving innovation across engineering, data science, and marketing. Curious about how aicas is driving #innovation in the automotive world? Contact us via PM to learn more!

Context is totally key to any decision, whether that is from a human or a machine. But the idea that we can build a system that understands, at that very second, what a human is feeling, doing or dealing with is pure fantasy. On top of which, with DMS, have car companies and their suppliers mapped every face on the planet? No, of course not. Well, they'd better lawyer up or they're going to get sued into oblivion for potential bias, racism or exclusion. We need to slam a hard brake on the idea that we can make technology deal with issues on the road. The evidence is quite contrary, after a decade of this being installed on public roads. We need a serious and proper discussion about what it can and cannot do or should be used on or for.

Everyone asks me: are fleets really adopting EVs? The short answer is, yes; but here's the data to back it up, from a new Cox Automotive study. Some highlights: 1. 14% of fleets presently operate EVs, with a significant trend toward EV adoption expected in the next five years. 2. Among the total sample of fleets owners (those with and without EVs), a vast majority – 87% – expect EVs to be added to their fleets in the next five years. 3. Fleet owners forecast that the EV share of the average fleet in five years would be 43%. https://lnkd.in/ebqWfX-d

Some automotive suppliers are cutting jobs because of slowdowns in automakers' electrification plans, often reluctantly because of how difficult it can be to fill roles to begin with. Automakers are rolling back their electric vehicle plans in the face of lower-than-expected sales growth in North America, creating ripple effects throughout the supply chain. Many programs that parts makers expected to supply have been delayed or altered, putting a dent in suppliers' earnings outlooks and forcing them to make adjustments to their own plans. https://lnkd.in/eEZiCsKs
