Die Nutzfahrzeugindustrie durchläuft aktuell einen rasanten und tiefgreifenden Wandel. Sonatus bietet den Herstellern die nötigen Werkzeuge, um flexible, zukunftssichere Plattformen zu schaffen, die den Anforderungen eines nachhaltigen, effizienten und intelligenten Transports gerecht werden.

Während noch vor wenigen Jahren die Software im Fahrzeug fest definierte Funktionen wie den Motor steuerte, übernimmt sie zunehmend eine zentrale Rolle im Fahrzeug. Für die Fahrzeughersteller bedeutet dieser Wandel flexiblere Funktionen und eine bessere Kontrolle. Im Mittelpunkt muss aber immer die Sicherheit stehen.

Alle OEMs arbeiten an SDV's, sprich: softwaredefinerten Fahrzeugen. Darfür gibt es viele Gründe, nicht zuletzt ein Wertpotenzail von mehr als 650 Mrd. Dollar. Das Problem: Die Umsetzung eines SDV ist viel schwieriger als angenommen.

Are automakers really prepared to compete in the software-defined-vehicle space? Sonatus CMO John Heinlein talks with David Kiley of WardsAuto about how companies like Hyundai Group are adapting. 

Sonatus CTO and Co-founder, Yu Fang, shares his insights on the transformative potential of a software-first approach to revolutionize the automotive industry. The road ahead might be lined with speed bumps, but it’s also brimming with opportunities for innovation and growth.

We ask Sonatus CEO, Jeff Chou: "What’s the ‘proper’ software foundation for SDVs?"  This episode digs deep into his assessment of SDV development today – both in terms of software and hardware architecture.

Dr. John Heinlein, CMO of Sonatus, joins host Elena Ciccotelli  on-site at AutoTech Detroit to set the record straight (finally) on what a software defined vehicle (SDV) is and how OEMs like Hyundai are using SDVs to innovate on some of the most impressive vehicle features in 2024.. 

Sonatus CTO and Co-founder, Yu Fang, shares how the cloud empowers automotive OEMs and Tier 1s to constantly innovate to compete and meet changing customer demands.

US technology company Sonatus has opened an R&D and engineering centre in Dublin to expand its engineering and business capabilities. It said the new Dublin centre will support its service to existing and future customers, adding that Europe is an important hub for many major automotive manufacturers.

Forget the idea of cars as mobile-phones on wheels; as Jeff Chou says on The InEVitable podcast, the more correct analogy is that “cars are like data-centers on wheels.” He then goes on to explain the shared properties of data centers and SDVs and describes the magnitude and complexity of the transformation that's already underway.

NXP collaborates with Sonatus and other software and Tier 1 suppliers to develop a platform that enables ECU consolidation. A new industry-first open platform for developing the software-defined vehicle (SDV) combines processing, vehicle networking and system power management with integrated software.

NXP Breaks Through Integration Barriers for Software-Defined Vehicle Development with Open S32 CoreRide Platform. This industry-first platform combines processing, vehicle networking and system power management with integrated software to address the complexity, scalability, cost-efficiency and development efforts required for next-generation vehicles.
