Standards don’t care what’s under the hood – and here’s the proof
The software-defined vehicle conversation has, almost by default, become an Electric Vehicle (EV) conversation. Ask a typical automotive engineer to picture a software-defined vehicle and chances are they’ll picture something electric.

5 common automotive OTA myths – busted
