This Driving Innovation podcast episode provides a summary of ”Realizing Future-Proof Architectures for Software-Defined Vehicles”, a white paper from Wards Auto sponsored by Sonatus, which describes the lessons the automotive industry can learn from the transition of legacy hardware-centric data centers into modern software-defined application platforms. The white paper covers how the lessons can be applied to architect flexible foundations for vehicle E/E architectures to support rapid and continuous innovations.
