The success of realizing the SDV vision hinges not only on software technology within the vehicle, but creating a cloud-to-car seamless continuum, requiring organizational and process changes as well. Embracing modern cloud-native software and agile, devops practices will greatly ease the effort. Employing shift-left virtual development and validation, on public clouds and virtual platforms can give teams a significant head start on time to deployment, with effective separation of hardware and software dependencies. Open source truly aligns with and jump starts the continuous innovation approach SDV requires, while still effectively meeting safety requirements.
